You and Scarlett will enjoy the class - and it already sounds like you have a lot of the basics going very, very well. 🙂 I found the part of the class I didn't like was the first 10 minutes where all dogs were allowed off leash to socialize. With FoPaws puppies being so well socialized, I found that first 10 minutes just wound up Kipawa so much, with all the playing! Then, it took me a good 10 minutes to calm him down enough to really work well in the class. The good news is that I am seeing as Kipawa ages and becomes more respectful he doesn't need to go wild when he first meets a new dog. I also think that not taking him to the play area off leash park is also helping him.
They love eachother so much

I love the photo with the kid, the bunny and the basenji, i believe that kids get more love from the dog, that viceversa. Ryan will learn a lot from the basenji

And people say B's and kids don't get along! When my grandson came to live with us for a year, Shadow was 7, Sugar 4.5, Zina, 4.5, Damisi 3.5. None of them every bothered him as he was taught, by my daughter, from the time he was able to move around, to respect the dogs and they would respect him. Johnny is now 1.5 and they are 'best friends.' It's all in how you raise both of them IMO.

Thank you all so much!
@ Arlene, we hear it all the time, even some people/ breeders that know us will say Basenji's aren't good with kids because they are afraid??
I do believe you have to "know" enough about dogs to get the combination of dogs and kids working so well. (it's up to the parents) -
