    Wauw ! Hoe noemt men Basenji's ook al weer ? The Untrainable Dog ? Dit is nu eens een mooi voorbeeld van hoe je met liefde en geduld "zelfs" een Basenji schitterend kan trainen ! Proficiat ! Ik hoop dat ik het even ver als jullie kan brengen als onze vriend er is.

    Wow ! What is it they call Basenji's ? The Untrainable Dog ? Well this is a beautiful example that with lots of love and a lot of patience you can 'even' train a Basenji to become a wonderful companion ! Congrats ! I hope that once our little friend arrives I can manage to do as well as you guys do.

    :D Bedankt! Met liefde, geduld, tijd en humor kom je overal! Mirtillo vindt het heerlijk om samen te oefenen! Als ik een lach op m'n gezicht heb, weet hij dat hij iets heel knaps gedaan heeft :) (of iets heel stouts :rolleyes: )
    Ik weet zeker dat jullie dit ook gaat lukken!

    :D Thanks! With love, patience, time and humour you can achieve anything! Mirtillo loves it when we practice together! When I have a smile on my face, he knows he did something really good :) (or something really bad..:rolleyes: )
    I know for sure that you can do the same!

    I was really impressed by how your dog trusts you and stays even when you disappear behind bushes. Was the training time consuming? I am trying to train my 11 month old pup in the rudiments of sitting, staying and coming at so its good to see what is possible with these intelligent little creatures. Well done!

    Thank you :)

    The training is definitly time consuming. We started with sit and Mirtillo wasn't planning on laying down or staying for some time. I just waited untill I noticed that he was 'ready' for the next step. The laying down came when the temprature went up and the staying when it was too hot to move ;)
    For every new step he gets his favorite treat. For the things he already knows he gets some normal kibble.

    When I'm behind the bushes I'm still saying 'stay', so he knows I'm there. We are trying to get to 30 seconds without me talking.. But he's still a bit too young for that.

    And they are for sure intelligent creatures..

    @sanjibasenji said in Crate training: I have much respect for that accumulated knowledge, but, not to sound rude, that does not make that person a certified or licensed trainer. I actually was offended by what you posted. You said you respect the knowledge, but disregard it because they aren't a "certified or licensed trainer"? These are well-intentioned breeders who volunteer to engage with others on the Forum in an attempt to educate and celebrate this amazing dog breed. They share their knowledge. You don't have to agree with them. Offer your opinion and move on. Please don't suggest that their opinion, experience, and education isn't valid because they aren't "certified" or "licensed". Your overall intent screams that you believe yourself to be better than the rest of us: "I'm a scientist with a PhD." Which puts the rest of us beneath you? In education and social stature? You couldn't know about anyone's socioeconomic status, educational achievements, or expertise on any subject. But you deemed to think it was appropriate to put us in our place. And that, was rude. Even the analogy you offered is an indication that you don't value anyone who doesn't have a degree. Frankly, if you are hearing conflicting opinions about the same piece of art, get a third opinion. The person with the degree may have just scraped by with a C+, while the person who devoted decades may have been under the tutelage of a Master Artist. And really, if you are planning to purchase such a prized piece of Art, shouldn't you educate yourself so you can make an intelligent decision instead of allowing others to tell you what to buy? As an aside: The original YouTube link remains, but we certainly do not need her entire catalog of videos. Sharing information is one thing, advertising for someone is another. I would hope that you understand that not everything you see online is true. Including claims to be an expert, certified, trained, Dr., etc., etc. Lots of people in the world are just selling a story.

    Just a suggestion: When you see him "misbehaving" by chewing on 'less than ideal' items, offer him one of his toys and use the word "trade". In other words, 'chew on this instead', and when he accepts the toy - praise him. And when you see him get the toy on his own, praise him again. It could help him understand that certain toys are just for those times when you want to "rip someone's head off*". (*not meant literally, only in doggy world play)

    I also have a Verizon air card USB - the video may use it all up. Also, instead of using the laptop with the air card, I used my home computer to call it up and found you have to subscribe to something in order to watch - it's my policy not to do that. So, even though the video may be great, you do have to sign up with something to do so.

    THANK YOU!! I finally feel there is somebody out there that 'gets it'. Our girl does not respond to any of the 'pack leader' stuff - I'm sure she was dumped because she is just such a stinker. Everytime I hit bottom somebody helps me through the disaster with encouragment (that's why I joined this group.) THANK YOU for your good thougths - things do progress - her private trainer is coming this weekend & we're doing the prong collar. Last night she sat in her crate for almost 45 minutes. No matter what, she's here to stay & she is so darn cute!!!!! That tail is really precious - thank you so much for all your e-support!! Joanne & Sophie:) :) :) :)
