This Weekend's Coursing

Basenji Training
  • With our race weekend cancelled due to a soggy field, we went ASFA coursing instead. L'Ox picked up both of his first placements and 32 points going BOB beating his half sister in Open and his mom in the BOB run both days. Kyo, Kinetic-Tanza Reaper Man, also got to see the lure for the first time and give it a try, http://youtu.be/kVQ4colkhDQ

    It was a nice weekend with the rain holding off until after the trial was finished. The dogs are all happily worn out and sprawled on various couches.

  • Congratulations, so nice to have another event available when one gets cancelled

  • :) Watching basenjis coursing really makes me smile. They truly love it. Congrats on the results.

    Darn those plastic bags! I remember last summer Kevin and Therese had to have a significant number of replacement bags on hand.

    West Suburban Humane Society has a secure server for donations on their website. I don't know if there is a way you can mark that it is from Katie's Gotcha Day Fundraiser though. If you go to this page: http://www.wshs-dg.org/wshs/blog/2009-07-06/fundraiser-benefit-wshs there is a button for click & pledge on the right hand side. I would like be at the BSCOW picnic this weekend too, but I haven't RSVP'd yet. Thanks so much. Still hope to see people at the fundraiser! -Nicole

    In our house there is one way to get back inside… Now before you say thats unfair, we don't have a yard so human and basenji have to stand out in the rain until Indy does what he needs to do. It will only take one or two times to make the point. Plus no potty in the house

    I've got two B x's and I really feel your pain about trying to train them both at the same time! As others have said, it's best to try to get some alone time with each of them and then work them together….. As for when out walking, I have the same issue...our first born is much better behaved, except when they are together in which case he just stirs up trouble with the other one. What we have found works the best is to take them down to the park on leads, and then let the better behaved one off the lead and attach his lead to the others lead (so it's now twice as long) and do a few laps of the park with one off lead and the other on a long lead. Once we've gotten them around a few times and they are both a bit more settled we let the other one off. This works brilliantly. Once they are both off, they behave fairly well and come when called. If we started off with them both off they just tend to wind each other up and end up running around like crazy animals. As far as getting them to 'leave it' when off lead....I have had some success with this, although not always (foster rubbed his face in something very gross just the other day YUCK). I find a very stern 'leave it' works most times, however if it doesn't, I get as close to them as possible and clap my hands really loudly followed by a 'leave it' as loud as I can. I think this just shocks them and gets their attention away from whatever disgusting thing they were looking at. Best of luck to you!!!
