    Foschatt what's the name of the doggie day care you take Rye to? We are looking for a good one in the area and we're not far from Franklin. We go down there at least once a week for dog classes (at Master Peace). How often do you go to the Medway Park?

    The name is Happy Tails. They have a website. They break dogs up into different play styles (Rye is in the hard play group:D ). But FYI they do crate at lunch time to give dogs a break for 1-2 hrs. We heard great reviews from people at Medway and comparing it to others we won't go anywhere else. We drive very far to go there.
    We don't go to Medway anymore because of the distance and 2 dogs wouldn't leave him alone. Always barking knocking him down and barking in his face! The owners did nothing to stop their dogs so we would felt we had to leave. He didn't seen to care too much but we were nervous of creating bad experinces since he places very well with other dogs. After driving all the way there, it always seem one of those 2 dogs were there:( . Although we did meet Gremlin a cute tri color basenji a few times just before we stopped going.

    Hey all Massachusetts B owners. I just recently found this site and this thread. I would love to have Beegin have some playtime with other basenjis. One of my friends has a black lab, Lila, that he can sometimes play with but he wears her out!

    I am down in New Bedford but Franklin is only about an hour 15 from me. I was considering signing up to do some agility stuff at the Master Peace place there as well. Nothing set yet. Oh and no dog parks nearby, but I am told there is a nice fenced one in Newport.

    Shannon, Beegin and Brady (…Snow sucks.)

    Shannon,

    There are some dog parks they just aren't official though. None that are fenced in. There is one in Framingham in Calahan State Park. If you go to the Millwood St., Framingham entrance park, walk along the trail that goes straight back about 1/4 of a mile there it is.

    Usually there are a bunch of doggies there (about a dozen) and a huge field. Indi loves to go play there and we try to take him atleast once a week. Thats the only one I know of but I know there are other similar places you just have to ask around.

    @rnasto:

    sorry the computer barfed

    Ha! That sounds unpleasant.

    I've been wanting to try the one in Sharon…anyone know- is it fenced? I'm willing to drive further (Jack doesn't mind car trips).

    There is a dog park in Bellevue. Is that too far? It’s not usually very crowded. That’s why I like it. Maybe we can wait until the weather is a bit better and not so wet! My cell. 4122511212. You can message me

    I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had responded. I thought I'd get an email. Zoey is definately NOT good off leash. It would be great to find a fenced area…I know there is a dog park (with a small dog area) near me, but I don't know how you feel about driving. (I've commuted for years, so I'm used to it). I could probably call Bear Mountian the park to see if they allow dogs. I'm working tomorrow, but I'll try to find out on Tuesday. Also, there is some sort of an event in Woodstock, NY (beautiful town), sponsored by the Rip Van Winkle Basenji Club. I am totally new to all of this stuff, so I'm not sure what goes on there, but here is a link....I thought you might be interested. If I'm not working I may go just to check it out. http://www.rvwbasenjiclub.org/June.24th.Match.html

    Find a good positive reinforcement puppy class, like clicker training and you will both have fun. All of mine have earned at least a rally novice obedience title and love the training. There are some things that you should not expect of a basenji such as being outside off lead. They are sighthounds and must be on a lead or in a fenced area at all times. The biggest issue with a house with children is that the children must understand the door can never be left open. My inlaws have a terrible habit of wanting to stand in the doorway and talk as people leave. I have to shoo them outside so the dogs do not try to dart outside given the opportunity. We have had ten basenjis since our son was two, he is now 27 and the basenjis raised him.

    No Basenji breeders right around Edmonton anymore. Closest is a breeder in Calgary. Most of the Basenjis around here recently have been coming from Beaubri kennels in Mission, BC. She breeds nice Basenjis. -Joanne
