Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

@AC~Akeyla:
Hello everyone,
I am new to the Basenji Forum, but sooo thankful to have found people to talk to about our special, different, wonderful breed. Our female Basenji's name is Akeyla and she 4.5months old. I hope to talk to everyone soon!
Welcome, glad to have you here… hopefully you will post pictures soon. Care to share where your pup came from?
-
Welcome to the forum. I take it this is your first Basenji?
-
Welcome to the forum!
Enjoy!!
-
Hello and welcome:D
-
Welcome, you will love it here. Were are you? I'm in texas too.
-
Welcome! Post pictures when you get a chance!
-
Yes, this my first Basenji and she came from a breeder here in Texas. I will post pictures as soon I figure out how everything works
-
We would love to hear more about your girl and her breeder.
Some of us are "related" by dogs..
Welcome. -
And if her sire and dam have not been and even if they were, you should consider have her DNA tested for Fanconi…. for your own piece of mind. You can search the forum for Fanconi and DNA testing for Fanconi or go to www.basenjihealth.org

Welcome to our pack - please tell us more about your pup.

Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice to have you here, & there is a lot of good info here.

Well… Akeyla is her name and she is a wonderful puppy! She sure acts like a puppy too! That is good and bad! She was born on Christmas 2008, so she is almost 5 months old, brindle is her color (but more red than brindle). I fell in love with her at 4 weeks old because she was different from her brother and sisters. We will get her a playmate as soon as we move into a house. Having two puppies would be too crazy for me to handle right now in an apartment!
-
Welcome! My puppy was born on Christmas also, what does your pups name mean?
-
Akeyla means Noble. Noble is what we are going to name our next puppy. Pretty cute huh?
-
Very cute, I can't wait for my next but am shooting for 2 years until the next addition. Dude is my boy, my first basenji and I hope to add a girl winter 2010, she will be called Ono, Hawaiian for the best. Can't wait for pics!
