    hard to say if crating was a big negative in her puppy place for her that could account for her behavior now? Have you called her breeder to ask her/him? They sometimes can give you wonderful ideas that can help faster than the rest of us because they know their puppy.

    I will take a bit of time, but it does work. Please let us know how it goes.

    Thanks for your replies. I guess in the spontanaity of the moment I did as I do with my other dogs, a no and then a quick taking the thing away since I'm boss and I'm the owner of everything ultimately. I do believe Rowdy was not being the bad growling type bite – he took his front teeth and nipped at my arm, pinching it, but it hurt! I will try to work on the "leave it" command, since I taught that to my mom's poodle and it worked well. Rowdy is smart and is finally getting some of the house rules down. Though he's sneaky when he isn't resting beside you and you forget to watch him... :)

    @michele: My 5 year old Basenji (we have had her since March) goes to the bathroom on our deck. We put her out the back door onto our deck and she usually goes no further tan the deck to go to the bathroom. Is there any way that I can stop this from happening? Put her on a leash and walk her to where you want her to go every time. Praise her when she goes, then let her off her least to run around.
