Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

Hi, and welcome. You are about to discover just how totally lost you are. When we adopted our first B a little female, 5 years ago we thought 1 was more than enough but a few years later the opportunity came for us to adopt a sweet 2 yo male, and we were sure that 2 was pleanty. Oh, how foolish we B people are, because this last August we fostered a year old male brindle, who our 4yo boy adopted on first meeting and we are now a family of 3 B's and an elderly Shiba Inu. So, just a warning, as far as B's are concerned, like Lays potato chips, one is never enough.

Welcome! Two is twice as nice… then you'll want three...
Are you getting a puppy?
-
Yes we are getting a puppy, will be our sixth basenji in 30 years!!! We can only handle two at a time! We are getting him from Brenda Cassell here in Texas. Looking forward to posting pics of he and Rumor soon.

Great Breeder! Congrats!

Hey yodels, congrats on the new puppy. Can you share how you found Brenda? I'm on the BCOA outreach committee and I'm curious how people are finding breeders.

4 1/2 weeks until Ryder comes home!! We can't wait, trying to prepare Rumor for her new brother!

Love the names, enjoy your new baby. Two basenjis is better than 1…and 3 is better than 2, and 4 is better..............

Picked up Ryder on Saturday!!! Rumor is SLOWLY realizing a baby brother might be fun. Still snarling a bit but starting to play with him a bit. He is so cute, thanks Brenda for such a wonderful boy!
