    No, I don't know that one but these are beautifully hand carved collars made specifically for Basenjis. They're custom made in very limited quantities. Worth a look… http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271110778466

    @Basenjimamma: I agree, training has got to be the biggest part in this equation, then the type of harness/collar. Ultimately do we not want the dogs to obey what we want them to do, as supposed to have a gear that forces them to do what you want them to do? Yes, training is key. But not all animals respond the same way to the same thing. Sometimes it is trial and error as to what works best for which dog. In my house, it is individual even with the types of treat that work - Ruby prefers cheese, Brando beef liver, and Liyah chicken. IMHO, same with collars and leads.

    @agilebasenji: So perhaps he wasn't shredding his bedding because he was stressed. He was probably shredding it because it's fun! :cool: Apparently, it is fun! Mine doesn't take the bedding out the door of the crate, she prefers to pull it through the wires and drags the crate halfway across the room. I'm picking my battles with her as she has had a rough life. When I say "No.." my girl gives me that wrinkled forehead look as if to say, "whatever…" and goes off to find something else that is entertaining.

    @JazzysMom: I am not a "show people" as I've never been in the ring, and only have the one dog that actually finished her championship, but I keep collars on my dogs 24/7. I used the rolled leather collars, and they don't leave any marks on the neck at all – necks are nice and smooth. Well, really they do leave marks… but they are pretty little.... I always don't leave collars on in the house for a number of reasons... (this is after they get used to them of course)... 1. I am always afraid that they will get a mouth caught in them when playing... and 2. they will/could get hung up on something... however that said, mine are not crated, as we have a doggy room for them.. and they have a doggy door to a secure fenced yard.

    Oh that is good idea. I was thinking of getting one of those dual leads for two dogs and using one clip on her martingale and on the harness. She is a sneaky little wench!

    I'm going to see how Charlie does on walks for now. He really doesn't pull much, but he is still getting used to everything around my neighborhood. I'm also going to be taking him to behavior classes soon. If he gives me a problem when he's bigger, I do plan on trying a gentle leader. I've already decided to get one for my lab/ hound mix, Bandit. He practically dislocates your arm because of the pulling.
