    I thought that too, along with Kipawa…hmmm

    Maybe they were trying to avoid puppy season..lol

    As everyone here has said, it's possible to expect your basenji to e "reasonably trained" - but, that doesn't mean he/she is going to do it every time, and they are very easily bored. As someone has as a tag line, "A Basenji does not obey to orders, it may listen to proposals." The operative word here being "may." Success ten times in a row is no assurance regarding the 11th time. Still, they are worth it. As to the furniture, etc., we finally decided to make a choice: a pristine household or basenjis. Guess what we choose. …....

    Same goes for having a nice garden, or not.

    Y'a know, just a random thought.
    I love Rotties, chows and basenjis.

    ANCIENT breeds – chows and basenji in the oldest group.
    New breed::: Rottweilers.

    You can teach a freaking Rottweiler to do ANYTHING, consistently. They live to please.

    Chows and basenjis-- yeah right.

    I remember about 15 yrs ago going first to the American Rottie front page online... article on how to get your dog to do a flip and finish etc.

    I go to the Chow page. I am not joking.. main article... How to Teach Your Chow to Come.

    I laughed a long long long time at the truthfulness of it all. I once knew a lady here in GA that got OBEDIENCE AND AGILITY titles on her dogs. I one day got to meet here when I picked up a rescue to transport and so I asked her HOW. She said, you have to do it young because between 18 mos and 2 yrs, they stopped performing for you.

    So, at least we aren't alone.

    Kipawa does this as well, and also prefers to do it with dogs that have a longer coat. I've never had a problem yet, but I do watch carefully. If Kipawa starts going a little overboard, I redirect with a treat, or I will also tell him "time out". Both work for us.

    i walk the lab and isis at the same time one on hand and one on the other, the lab seem to have a major drive to sniff out anything and track blindly and of course isis will be doing the same, the b is easier to control cause she lighter but the m1 tank of the lab well.. we've came across little furry friends on our nitely walks i need to stay very focus on my surroundings, one thing the b does if theres someone walking behind us doesnt matter how far , she walk ahead stop and turn to look back, she'll keep doing this repeatedly like she warning me these something there,im sure its instinct on her end to,of course i confirm whats shes doing but yeah those b's dont miss a trick

    @agilebasenji: Could you put her in a pen behind the counter? Or section off an area for her. That way she could be with you, socialize, be the store mascot but not be out in the store where she could slip out the door. i dont think that hub will want to change the disposition of things…she'd just learn how to jump over the counter as soon as she figures it out!!!:D

    I've hiked off leash at numerous areas here in the SF Bay area. They love it! Any there was only 1 area that was a problem with ticks. To me after 30 years hiking with them it's the best way to establish a great relationship with them. There's no two ways about it, Basenjis love hiking adventures.
