This guy must spend HOURS in training!

Basenji Talk
  • This makes me smile every time I see it.

  • A while ago I met Helle and Selma at a dog show. They do THAT as well for warm up (concentration) before the dog show wow

    It really is amazing what you can do with clicker training…

    One word: respect!!

  • wow… this is so amazing...

  • I made the mistake of showing my husband. He is certain I could train mine as well.
    While I appreciate his confidence, I don't need the pressure, LOL.

  • Ah, but time spent training your dog (even if it is a basenji) is fun. (okay, most of the time it's fun.) Don't you feel inspired to go train a new trick or two after watching?

  • If anyone wants to train my sled dog to do this…!! :) Miles thinks he's pulling a team when we go for a walk!! That is amazing!! Makes me want to get a clicker.

  • Those are great! I would love to get my B to do that. My B actually picks up tricks pretty well…. lets see... he can sit, lay down (only on soft surfaces), paw, other paw, and high five. Knowing how independant minded they are, it's been fun trying to see how many tricks he can learn. I like to think that he is easy to train because of how attached he is to me. Unlike most Bs, he actually wants to please me! However, I have had several times when he just gets frustrated and does all of his tricks all at once. Its really cute, and I have a hard time keeping from laughing!

  • the black and white Basenji is my Panda's daddy Gosha (Georg Glamur Hanaczek) and I guess the red and white girl jumping over the Mastiff is Tutsie (Bulldobas Top Totty) but I am not sure about that… Both dogs live in Moscow (RUS) and belong to Irina O., Kennel Lis Glamur - see I am very proud...

    Maybe you should get one of these to have the "reel fun".

    I think signalling is a great idea, although I have never used it. A friend taught her two Bichons to do it with a bell at the door. My dogs always let me know when they needed out. We had a regular routine, but if a potty break was needed at some other time, restless pacing and trotting toward the door was a pretty clear picture. Never a problem. Worst thing is the sound of a dog beginning to retch and jumping off the bed at 4 a.m. Seldom managed to get outside quick enough!

    It depends. I've never had to crate another breed forever, but my one basenji would get destructive if left alone.. the 2nd one would pee on my bed. So crating it was. However, I'm home so they were rarely crated. My current basenji is fine loose as long as she's alone. So like they said, do it slow, confine to an area that is safe and see how it works out. But if you need to keep crating, most dogs sleep far more than people.. up to 17 hrs a day. Just exercise before and lots after so they aren't bored.

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    If you use a squirt bottle, you will only have to spray the b a few times before they get the message…at least, that works in my house.

    sorry for your lost, but they say when one door closes another opens,this you save another b..my 2 cent is we still have a 8 month old,and two labs which are of course house broken but getting a puppy… only thing i can say is be observant,tricks learned from here helped us out, we still keep a pee pad down, only once in a blue moon does she use it,shes learn to go when the other dogs go out , but if she been running around the house or rough housing with the others out she goes, learned that when she stops its time

    The absolute worst thing about this time change (aside from the lessened amount of daylight walk time), is that Stormie and Nikki were so used to their dinner being served at 6:30 PM. Now they start pesting me at 5:00 PM for dinner and they put on those, "PLEASE MOM! We're STARVING and wasting away to practically NOTHING" eyes! Ha! Little rugrats is putting it nicely! :D ;)
