New title for an old dog

Basenji Talk
  • agilebasenjiA

    I'm happy to report that Digital received his TDIAOV title certificate a couple of days ago. A therapy dog is awarded the TDIAOV title after 150 hours/visits. Diggie will turn 15 in December and I'll post a birthday message then. I believe this brings his title count up to 30 (not counting his MVB or is ASCA titles). I'd also like to point out that Digital was my first competition dog of any sort and he's ALWAYS been owner-handled. Can you imagine what he could have accomplished with a more experienced handler?
    good boy.

    Hi, Socialization was one of my worries and I wanted to get it right, get your friends over and have them wear hats and bags and anything and everything at different times, what we did at home was just getting the household socialization such as umbrellas, pots, rubbish bins etc started and if you have friends with vaccinated and friendly dogs get them around. There is a lot of socialization you can do before your pup is fully vaccinated at home, rubbish day is a good day for standing at the gate watching the big noisy trucks go by, picking up the bins and banging them down, watching the mower, hearing the motorbike being started. Just remember let your pup take it's time don't force it when it is uncomfortable. Our 6 month old boy is doing great and is quite a confident fella. At 14 weeks we did puppy class for 7 weeks and only started going to a dog park at 4 months and he automatically knew how to be a dog when he was with the other dogs. Good luck.

    Too bad for the dog though. Hopefully all will settle down further as time goes on.

    QUOTE=LeeL: I have noticed that it is a lot easier to accidentally train a Basenji than on purpose. ;) And not necessarily something you WANT them to learn!
