Have you read Control Unleashed? There was a blind basenji that would go up to sniff a human and then would nip. So they taught this pup a sniff then retreat type of behavior. The Look at That game, whiplash recall, mat work, off switch game are great for this sort thing. I think the basenji was talked about a lot on the CU list about a year or two ago, you may want to join and check the archieves.

Hi everybody,
My name is Gag, glad to meet you all. Pi (π) is my first B. He was born on 25th Dec, 2013. I've got him on 30th Mar, 2014. He is very smart, curious and obdurate. I try to teach and train him everyday some time work but some time not.^^Any advice?

what a cutie! and welcome to the wonderful world of basenji ownership.
Basenjis are clever little dogs that work best with gentle training techniques. A heavy hand can destroy his trust in you. I suggest you look for books or websites by Patricia McConnell, Sophia Yin, Karen Pryor, Leslie McDivett, Ian Dunbar.
