Help needed w/hunting study

    I have NO additional information about this; I'm simply cross-posting from another site,The Basenji Native Traits Preservation Project :

    http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/BNTPP/

    Hi all,

    I have written a few posts and had an article printed in the Basenji
    about some testing we developed for hunting traits in basenjis. I had
    asked for a little help with the testing and for volunteer dogs with
    the testing being conducted on one or two days during the Nationals.
    I received a couple of calls and well wishes for the project but
    nobody has really stepped forward.

    I'm fine with it if nobody is really interested; I just don't really
    have the time to set this all up and not have any dogs to test. So, I
    am throwing out one last request for help and dogs. Feel free to
    cross post this request. If I don't get any significant response by
    9/10/07 I will have to shut the testing program down for the time being.

    While it's sometimes easier to hope that the older dogs will teach the little one, that doesn't always happen. While I had it work with Apache, it didn't with Zuni. When I was house training Zuni I would leash her up and take her out into the yard and just wait until she went, then praise and treat. There were many times she wouldn't move, so we just stood there until she moved and went or went where she was. It can be a real pain, especially in the middle of the night…but that doesn't last forever. Any accidents in the house were just cleaned up and not acknowledged. When we lived in the city, the dogs did prefer to go while on walks, but would, if they REALLY needed to go, go out into the yard.

    She is obsessed with those furry gray things and hunting would help tire her out!! You have to be carefull with squirrels. Our dog catches them but does not know how to kill, so he plays with them but gets bit up really bad by the squirrel.

    IMHO, please be careful with the alpha roll over, I used to do that when I first started dog training many years ago, I eventually had an aggression problem with the dog, got bit pretty good. I guessed it was my fault and never rolled one since. I never used pacifiers with my son, so no dog troubles there, but his blanky got stolen often. gg It sure cannot hurt to put the litterbox there and see what happens, its easy, fairly clean, and better than cleaning the rug often. You could also try using a scatter rug over the other rug, see if that helps any! I have one spot where one of the dogs, having gotten too excited, peed, they still go there if excited. I love my dogs, oh well its only in the hall. ggg Good luck, hope you find a solution! Carole

    Makes for a decorative backyard but it breaks the routine of walks on a leash–any "skill" course seems to trigger the inate ability of challenge.
