Thanks everyone for your advice.

I once saw a basenji clicker trained to scratch at the proper grade sand paper that was glued to a board. The basenji even curled his paw so the pads were not injured. This kept the nails perfectly trimmed. Perhaps the scratching/digging behavior could be re-directed into the more productive behavior and nail clipping would never be an issue!

@malik said in How do we get our puppy Basenji to stop pooping in the Kitchen and Bathroom?:

Puppies can't hold it long, so if they pee inside, it's really not the puppies fault but the owners. It's our job to anticipate when they might need to potty, and take them outside.

Absolutely! And they learn very quickly if there is consistency in taking them outside. My girl Tamu learned in less than two weeks, and she was very young when we got her (7 weeks, which is not recommended, but my 7 year old girl, Lady, pretty much adopted her and taught her manners).

My Lola will smell something that is WAY too interesting for me (i.e. old doggie stuff in the grass), but for her magical moment, that smell is GOLD! BAMM! STOP THE PRESSES! HUNKER DOWN, Momma, cuz I am not moving!!!!

So, I wait, as patiently as I can, until Lola realizes that it's just a turd… no magic... well, unless I have to go to the bathroom and I need her to hurry… well, then I trick her and flick her leash, saying, "Lola! What is that? Get it!!!!!" 🙂

I have 3 basenji and they all are different. My oldest female, Bella doesn't offer to even try to leave the fenced yard, but if an opportunity presents itself she's gone! And being a basenji, once she finds a way out she'll repeat what she learned. I had to stop her from digging at one section of the fence where she had found an opportunity. Perseverance and an automatic squirt gun took about 3 weeks and she doesn't bother any more. Since my youngest female, Angel (a definite misnomer) learns by what the other 2 teach her, I used the same method on her with success, but I never let her in the yard with my make, Mick. Mick is definitely an escape artist. No matter what, he never stops looking for a way out. I stopped the digging when they were little and they don't know they could go over the fence; and I don't allow the neighbor kids to climb on the fence for fear they'll learn that trick. But Mick can find the smallest places and squeeze through. I despaired of having to keep him on a chain for the rest of his life whenever he was out. I finally struck on the idea of using one of those medical cones and I works great! You have to make sure the collar is snug enough it can't be pulled off and I check it every time I take it off or put it on for wear, but so far it's working just great. He has to go out alone because the girls pull it off then he's gone, but I can now leave him in the fenced yard unsupervised. But I've watched him, he never stops looking for a way out.
