First Time…

Basenji Training
  • soulmateS

    for the very first time, Panda joined the Lure Coursing Training of the Danish Sighthoundclub yesterday. She did so well and knew right away what to do. I have tons of pictures in our gallery (but beware, they are really more than 500 pics of the whole dogs running there). But a outtake comes here for you….

    The Galleries can be found here: http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#54.0

    and here: http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#55.0

    The Galleries are splittet up in two sections: one before and after lunch. The course has been new after the lunch break…

    Regards,

    Esther

    Yes, at least we will join the Myndeklubben as a Member to participate in the Trainings for half of the price. And of course we will try to get the Coursing Licens for Panda and Jesty… As I found out I will have to travel again to participate in official Coursing competitions but Sweden is not too far from here and maybe I can convince the people from the Myndeklubben (Sighthoundclub) to have us participate in official Competitions as well....once we have the licens. Here in DK we do not have a Basenji Club, therefore there is no Competitions for B's available....

    Polar Fleece is a better choice, I agree… or sturdy beds/mats for the crate... you really need to see how she does with bedding, none of my Basenjis were bedding killers. And the crate should be in the room where you sleep, next to your bed.... then you are right there to deal with any issues.

    I worked on Kipawa's training yesterday at the dog park, where there were many distractions. His recall is excellent there, but that may be because he just needs to feel his mom is close by? Then when he gets to me I make him sit, then he gets a treat. In the house it is a little different. Recall is about 60% right now, but sit is very good - about 80%.

    I saw a thread in Books (I think) called Basenji Owner's Manual that some of the members are saying is pretty good. Keep in mind that Lilu is part Shepherd too. She may end up with some behavioral traits of that breed as well. Surf the puppy sections too…lots of great information there.:)

    Oh, I was talking about dry hair. There is NOthing that can keep Medjai from wet hair. He will climb on my shoulders and lick my head for 15 minutes if I let him.

    First time 'off leash'

    What is a "training leash"? Is it a long line? Long lines are great for teaching loose lead walking and working on recalls. Many people seem to think that walking a dog off leash is a good thing, when in reality it is in most places breaking the law. There are some places that you can walk your dog off leash without being in violation of the law but in many places there are not many safe places that you can walk your dog off leash. As Janneke said, a real benefit to working on a long line on recall is that if your pup ever does get out then you have a tool to get him back. Name response, coming to his name with various distractions and in various places could very well save his life some day. You can play the come game in the house having people in different rooms call his name and give a treat if he comes. You can work on a long line outside calling him between two people. Only treat if he comes when called not if he is just running back and forth between you. As for him listening to you, are you taking him to training classes? What is your role in training him? The more you work him, and the more consistently you work him, the more he will listen to you. You can start really by just taking a handful of one of his meals and just ask for some basics before giving him the main meal. Sit, down, stand, I practice targeting, what ever you may be working on until you have used your handful then when you are done ask for a sit and then you can give his bowl.
