    @hdolbow:

    lol well… in her cage it is layered liek this:

    -a towel to line the bottom
    -a white doggy bed the size of the crate that has sides
    -another towel on top of that
    then..
    -a little green round doggy bed on one side
    -ANOTHER towel on the other side lol
    -a pair of dans sweatpants that he cut off of himself because they got on his nerves... (haha i know.. he's an odd boyfriend)

    shes got a lot of toys in there too.. her kong wubba, a hippo, a rope, and a stuffed bone.

    Hm…I suppose what dog could resist a crate layered like that? Dallas has a huge blanket, then a giant teddy bear, a small pillow & a fleece blanket (that I've been wrapping him up in to put him in the crate). He still won't go in unless he's being fed or given treats :p I don't know what else to try to convince him that the crate is a good place.

    Do you crate her when you leave the house? If so, do you leave all that stuff in there with her?

    Can't wait to see another black/white puppy! Of course, I'm partial for the color. However, I haven't ever seen a puppy I didn't love. Good luck neffjohn. Start a new thread with details and pictures …. please???

    Hopefully all health testing was done for your pup including DNA for Fanconi. Anyone that would knowingly breed a litter for the Fall of 2007 without testing first is IMO, not a responsible breeder as there is no excuse….. OK off the soapbox!

    I just posted this link in a different thread but feel so strongly that all potential puppy buyers should read this that I am posting it again here. Anyone who is purchasing a puppy this year should read this short and very heartfelt article about why the DNA test for Fanconi is so important and why you should only support breeders who have done the testing.

    Thanks, that is CH Mijokr Jacque ChewzToes. He has some lovely small hooded ears that we don't see too much anymore - he is rather 'full of himself' as you can imagine. (but then again - what basenji isn't)

    @elbrant said in Operant Conditioning (explained): @eeeefarm said in Operant Conditioning (explained): some professional trainers suggest to their classes that they starve dogs that aren't all that food motivated This is just disturbing... in today's society, this type of behavior would be considered animal cruelty. Certainly we can find a way to encourage compliance without depriving an animal basic care. I know, it shocked me too when I heard it. The first instance was a friend of mine whose Border Collie was disinterested in food rewards, and she was advised by the instructor not to feed the dog anything on class days so there would be an incentive to accept treats. The second instance was my niece, and in this case a German Shepherd dog that again didn't want to take treats, and she was given the same advice by a different trainer, in fact in a different city, so it appears that it isn't unusual. Both these dogs work well for praise and in both cases the owners declined to starve the dogs....

    Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.

    @eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...

    @klangill I asked in the Facebook San Diego (CA) Basenji Meetup group about trainers. A member recommended Crewsn K9 Academy. https://www.crewsnk9academy.com/ I posted early in this thread about checking with the local breed club, South Coast Basenji Fanciers, for advice.
