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.

    One of the best strategies if you will be going out is to put the treats in the crate a short time before you leave and lock the dog out, so he can see them but not access them. Hopefully by the time you are ready to depart the dog will be anticipating getting into that crate and enjoying his treats! This can work very well and result in a dog that is looking forward to you leaving. I did something similar with my dog's roller ball, loading it up and making him wait for it. This dog that formerly had separation anxiety would become impatient and sometimes baroo to tell me he wanted me to leave so that he could have his ball!

    I can't really afford to go down there and take time off work, but it is tempting. My club has weight pulls up here though, so if we have some extra money this weekend that's what I'll be doing. lol I wouldn't expect many, if any Basenji people at the Oberlin trial. You're more likely to see a few folks though at the trials in the Dayton area. (Yellow Springs, Fairborn, etc.) There is an ASFA trial south of Detroit the second weekend of October. I'm planning on being there if you want to come? :)

    @lvoss: My basenjis learn new things very quickly but they also get bored more quickly. In classes that ask for you to repeat over and over again to make sure the dog "gets it", basenjis start to goof off. All of mine get to a point where their behavior and attitude clearly say, "What is wrong with you, didn't you get this the first 5 times I did it?" This is so true! Tillo starts to talk when it takes too long for me to get the fact that he already understands the command.. so there's no need to practice anymore :D

    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.
