    Cool thank you. Is there a site that will give me locations to puppy k, and what not locally?

    Here are a couple of trainer directories. Please be sure to talk to the trainer before enrolling and make sure they use positive reinforcement training.

    You can check out the local kennel clubs for puppy socialization and obedience classes. Locally, my options are the kennel club, Petsmart, and some of the doggie day cares have puppy classes as well. I'm be taking my puppy to the local kennel club. I don't know how it works in other clubs, but I just have to pay one fee for the year and I can take any of the classes in any the sessions for the rest of the year. So it's a pretty good deal.

    Here is a link to all the All breed Kennel Clubs in Ohio - perhaps there is one by you. Contact them and ask about training centers in the area.

    Wow that is a pretty good deal. I just talked to my mom and she doesn't want him to go to class, but I'll try to talk to her.

    Are you talking about the puppy or the poodle?

    Why would she not want him to go to class? This is pretty critical, IMO for any new puppy owner and puppy….

    She told me in her life she has trained many dogs, and she is confident in her ability. Idk maybe I should just try her way, and if it doesn't progress I'll convince her to go to puppy training.

    As others have said, the puppy socialization class is not about "training" as much as making sure the puppy has a healthy relationship with other dogs and people as well.

    @cuttiepie732:

    As some of you know I am getting a tri basenji boy soon… My mom already has a teacup poodle. He is sooo small. I swear they are going to be the same size when I bring him home lol.

    An 8 week old Basenji is going to be larger and heavier than a Poodle that size. If the Basenji pup gets a bit carried away with its playing and the Poodle doesn't put him in his place for his rudeness, you may have to intervene. A "time out" for the pup may be warranted.

    Edited: Oops I missed Pat's post about this above.

    I do agree with the others that puppy classes are fabulous for socializing your puppy. It is best to meet the trainer and watch them teach a class before you sign up and commit to going. You want to make sure that you agree with their methods and that you will be able to follow their lead. Good luck!

    I just found out that The Ohio State University has puppy classes. Like nine days after I get him. I think this will be good, because OSU is one of the top vet programs in the country! :)

    really training a basenji isn't like training any other dog.
    True puppy class is about helping your dog be social, but "training" well, its IMO different from training any other breeds.
    The EBC club has a manual, Basenji Owners Manual that is very helpful for the first time owner.
    I do believe its listed on this site.
    I would sure recommend it.

    Yeah I have read up on some info about basenji's for awhile, and tomorrow I am going to Borders and buying Basenjis: Complete Pet Owners Manual. How do I order the Basenji Owners Manual? I found the website, but it does not direct you to ordering it.

    @eeeefarm said in Can a male Basenji live with another male dog?: Tamu was considerate of Lady when she started to fail, The Duchess, a bitch bred by us, went to live with a another Basenji bitch. When Tok started to fail, the Duchess felt it her duty to feed her and went miles out over the fields, hunting. She brought back flea-ridden rabbits on an almost daily basis which she gently nosed towards the aging Tok. While she appreciated the deed, their owner didn't like the choice of diet which the Duchess provided for her friend. She was utterly devastated when finally Tok crossed the Bridge at 15 +

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    @JazzysMom: You KNOW William has to be wondering why we don't just throw the darned dogs into the stew pot!! bwahahahaha Because basenjis are too sleek and lean, not enough fat on the little rascals to make good stew, of course!:D

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    hi sorry for the situation!!, but the pit bull was trying to be aggressive !!. and if not , they tent to be very alpha towards other dogs. the owner needs to get help with there pit because it's going to go into aggressive mode and really hurt another animal!. get apple spray and keep it with you!. it might help but once in that mode with a pit bull it's hard to get them out of that mode too!. if you have this happen again try to grab the pitt BY THE SIDE OF THE MOUTH !!. THIS DOES TEND TO HELP THEM LET GO.
