A good "safety" exercise to practice is a command that tells your dog treats are in the offing, and use it at irregular intervals when you are walking. Combine the command with a total release of pressure on the leash, preferably when your dog has firm tension on said leash. Then if something unexpected happens you have a built in reaction of the dog to look to you for a reward. This won't work if your dog is pursuing a major distraction, but should give you an edge if you have an equipment failure in otherwise neutral conditions. (you can carry this one step further by "accidentally" dropping the leash in a controlled area, or with a light line attached for safety, and practice until the dog turns to you when it feels a total release)

I can go get her! Coincidentally, my employer is building an elementary school out there so I have been to Augusta twice since the job started…..apparently my "basenji in need" radar was down on that particular day...

There is a database that you can check online. It doesn't tell you the name of the implanter though which can sometimes help lead back to the breeder if it was them or their vet who did the implantation.

If you do, please post the information about her. Are you really going to get her? I'm so excited she'll be in good hands.

Well actually I'm not in a position to foster right now but I would definitely transport her.

I figured out what shelter she is at, but she doesn't pull up if you search on there, so I am wondering if anybody got her ..BRAT is wanting to help out, but can't find her..
Thanks for your help though, Tanza. -
She is in the lost/stray section so is not yet up for adoption.
