Advice To Dogs…

Basenji Talk
  • Advice To Dogs

    1 After your humans give you a bath, don't let them towel dry you!
    Instead, run to their bed, jump up and dry yourself on the sheets.
    This is especially good if it's right before your humans' bedtime.

    2 Act like a convicted criminal. When the humans come home,
    put your ears back, tail between your legs, chin down and act
    as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the
    humans frantically search the house for the damage they think
    you have caused.

    3 Hide from your humans. When your humans come home,
    don't greet them at the door. Instead, hide from them.
    and make them think something terrible has happened to you.
    (Don't reappear until one of your humans is panic-stricken
    and close to tears).

    4 Wake up 20 minutes before the alarm clock is set to go
    off and make the humans take you out. As soon as you get
    back inside, fall asleep. (Humans can rarely fall back asleep
    after going outside; this will drive them nuts!)

    I thought Ide share what i found while surfing the net.. thought is was cute and so basenji !!!!

  • :cool: I just loved it, made me have a good laugh :D

  • Seems like this is what they actually do. These B's know how to yank our chains. Thanks for sharing your web find. :)

  • This is so true. Especially about the alarm every morning.

  • Here are some tips from Abbey: If you're really not doing anything wrong and you're mom yells from the other room What Are You Doing In There, quickly grab a dirty sock and a bra from the laundry basket and trot into the living room with them. This provides your humans with a little comic relief; it's best to do this when they have visitors. A good baroo always gets a laugh no matter what you've done, and really fast footwork helps too if you've been REALLY BAD. One more thing, if your mom thinks you're asleep and goes to take a shower, never NEVER get up, wander into the bedroom and knock the ironing board over on your head!

  • omg my dog does each and everyone of those lmao

  • Do you know that I was actually told by a trainer to ignore Trixie when she was doing those bad things!! Yeah right! I guess you just let her shred the throw rugs that you just purchased because she shredded the last 4 you bought!! Hehe gotta love her!!!!

  • Too funny :D Basenjis all the way.

  • That was great, thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks for the laugh!!! Mine prefer #3… sadistic little creatures:D

  • There's also this one:
    When your humans take you out, poop twice. Rest assured, they only brought one bag.
    Also, if your human has an attractive member of the opposite sex over agressively crotch sniff.

  • @Gooby:

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    Sahara does the same, she will stick her head through just enough to see you and then helps you get dry by licking. She loves to help out, and will take a bath pretty easy now. Daddy also took her with him to shower and she did good. We have also taken her in our boat with a lifepreserver of course and she liked it ok. Hubby put her in the river with him and she was fine with him. Yea, they do have the sweetest personalities, and we love our Sahara sooooooo much.
  • Any advice???

    @Vegas: I don't think electric collars are cruel. I've worn one. I've shocked the crap out of myself. I've even taken some jolts with a cattle prod. There is only the "shock", no after pain. That being said, I would never use an electric fence for a basenji. Their prey drive is much stronger than their fear of being shocked. Negative punishment does not work very often with basenjis. It's about brains, not brawn when it comes to training them. Vegas Well I disagree with your comment about not being cruel… to a point... but I agree that negative punishment is not the best way to train a Basenji.... In regards to a regular electric fence, not the IF type, they do come in useful especially for fence climbers... or diggers for that matter.... and I know in one case the neighbors young male dog kept "eating" through the wooden fence to get to the Basenjis on the other side, especially when the bitch was in season... and electric fence (hot wire)... was a god sent

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!
