"A Tired Basenji Is A Happy Basenji"

Basenji Talk
  • I would assume you were holding the lead in your hand and that is definitely a recipe for disaster. I hope you and the bike did not sustain any major damage :-)
    I considered the bungee as a shock absorber, but usually, Jenny is pulling forward and I rarely have to make a quick stop so I can slow her down.

    I also noticed that EVERY time we go for a run, Jenny will want to poop some time during the run, even if she went 20 minutes earlier.

  • I have seen some people use this…any thoughts??

    BillyK-this is sort of the same physics involved with what you were saying.

    I'm not an expert bike rider so hence my hesitation with using this on a regular bike….So I was thining of getting this & using it on an adult trike.

  • What a cool idea. And I ALREADY own a bike!!!

  • Yeah, I have a friend with one of those, but $48 is way more than the cost of a leash and a harness. He says the breakaway release is good if you find that don't pay attention to where your dog is all of the time. I don't know if the breakaway sets the dog free or not, but that would be the end of my basenji (cars are just giant rabbits to her).

  • I strongly believe a tired Basenji is an angelic Basenji. I finally figured out how to strap the backpack on it fits perfectly. I took the weights off my ankle weights and put a 1lbs. weight on each side. Well I'll tell you this makes all the difference. I only use it if I can't run with my B due to weather or if we are just going to go for a 20 min. walk. He comes home still alittle wired but after settling down he is relaxed the rest of the day. This is great.

  • ha ha lol lol :D :D :D that's GREAT!!! I'm glad u figured out the backpack…it takes a while, I know :D

  • It's funny to see him wearing it but it's my favorite buy. People make jokes about him carrying his own lunch. But hey it will be great in the summer time, now i have a place to keep the plastic poopie bags and keys.

  • Where did you find the backpack?

  • I went keyed in hounddog packback and i showed me some lists. I will try to look for the link and send it to you.

  • I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around.
    Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!

    our garden is loaded with fieldmouses at the moment…. my B's do not care very much but my Ibizan hounds snack them all the time, sometimes they bring one inside for me to have, as a present, and they look quite offended when they notice I throw their delicious present in the garbage can ....

    @sharronhurlbut: We are doing a 10 hr drive to Id next week. The b's sleep and only want out when we stop for gas. I need to get out and walk the dogs because I get too stiff just sitting. Ah, old age! LMAO sharon…..the older I get, the more I realize the B's can often tolerate the long hauls better than this menopausal mom. :D

    Basenji seem to be the masters of the non-verbal put down. And I also agree with Basenji Boy's comment, reminds of that bumper sticker: the more I know of people, the better I like my dog. What is the correct plural of Basenji? 'Basenjis' or 'Basenji'? A Yodel of Besenjis?

    Hmmm, I wonder if we got Joey and Jazzy together, if their pups would be laid back? Joey is pretty calm compared to most bs that I have heard of or seen.
  • My Basenji was "that dog" today

    I used to say my dog was aggressive until I read this thread… Now I say it is more of a defensive mechanism for Buddi. Buddi doesn't like anyone or anything to approach him. He wants to smell and get to know them or it first. If someone new comes into the house I tell them not to acknowledge Buddi at first and then once he has finished getting to know them he will walk away. After that he is fine. But if someone walks in and puts their hand towards him he instantly turns into a very loud and shows aggressive behavior like he is going to attack. The theory has worked very well to date. With dogs it is a little different. He also doesnt like small dogs. The ones close to his size or larger we have never had a problem. Should I handle the situations in a different manner? Also he doesnt go to a doggie spa or day care so we make sure to go to the park and keep him socialized with dogs there and ones that he knows. We also have friends with young kids and he loves them. Has never growled or snipped at them. He LOVES to play!!!!
