"clown dog does it again"

Basenji Talk
  • Just wanted to let you know of mabel's lastest adventure. My youngest daughter was visiting. She of course had her two dogs with her, a samoyed, and a rottie. Rot is 8 months old and eighty pounds. Mabs hates all other dogs, she is very anti-social. I put her in a steel crate that my brother had given me.

    Several hours later tried to get into the bedroom where clown dogs was. The door was locked. Proceeded to take off the doorknob to get into the bedroom where Mabs was. She had managed to slide the tray all the way out of the crate and squeezed out of the cage. Chewed up a pair of shorts for good measure, and somehow managed to lock the door. Never a dull moment around my house.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Well, bless your heart. But I am afraid this type of "rough" treatment can make this poor dog a problem, down the road. Why do they even have this dog? Status sic?

    Neither of mine will catch food, it hits them in the face and falls to the floor too. They're both pretty good at catching toys when I tell them to but do get bored with that game rather qiuckly.

    If I put my arm around Nika when we're on the couch and my hand rests on her leg, she'll lick my hand for 10 minutes.

    I used to say my dog was aggressive until I read this thread… Now I say it is more of a defensive mechanism for Buddi. Buddi doesn't like anyone or anything to approach him. He wants to smell and get to know them or it first. If someone new comes into the house I tell them not to acknowledge Buddi at first and then once he has finished getting to know them he will walk away. After that he is fine. But if someone walks in and puts their hand towards him he instantly turns into a very loud and shows aggressive behavior like he is going to attack. The theory has worked very well to date. With dogs it is a little different. He also doesnt like small dogs. The ones close to his size or larger we have never had a problem. Should I handle the situations in a different manner? Also he doesnt go to a doggie spa or day care so we make sure to go to the park and keep him socialized with dogs there and ones that he knows. We also have friends with young kids and he loves them. Has never growled or snipped at them. He LOVES to play!!!!

    Sahara does not like the dark either, I have to go out with her for her evening potty runs. She gets out there and if I am there she will go in the front or back, but will look around the side of the house to make sure I am still there. She is so funny.
