Basenji Training

    Hello we just got our pup. He is 9 weeks old and was wondering what are the best ways to house train a Basenji pup. We just want to start out the right way with Sancho.

    It is nice to see you here looking for information.

    I would hope that your pup's breeder would have gien you all of this kind of information.
    My guess is that your puppy manual [and yes I am serious] did not include anything about house training.
    The biggest thing to remember when training them for the house is that they are a DOG, and a puppy at that…. which means that unless you havce no value for anything in your house, you need to crate train him.
    You may want to purchase the Basenji Owners Manual through the Evergreen Basenji Club to have something to refer to, in addition to your puppy manual.
    You can find it at:

    Good luck with your pup!

    I know you know this but outside every little bit and lots of love and time. Welcome and would love to hear more about your pup and pictures. Great being Basenji parents there is lots of fun time ahead. Love his name that's cute.

    There is lots of information about house training and crate training… Did you get any information from the breeder? That is really who should have provided you with lots of info.... but if not... you have come to the right place.

    Hopefully your pups sire and dam have been DNA tested for Fanconi?

    I have had that same situation with Ayo,only with him it's usually with large dogs. we only have one area at the park here, all together, small dogs and big dogs. When he goes in he always chooses one big dog , runs up to him and starts growling. Sometimes he stops very quickly, or the other dog growls back and it stops or it escalates , usually because the other dogs owner freaks out. He is fine around small dogs. And I am pretty sure that he is fine with most dogs, that if I leave them they will work it out, but I'm afraid to let it play out because bigger dogs can really hurt him, and also because usually the other owner freaks and intervenes making everything worse. Sooo, Ayo has started to get a bit of a rep.. The basenji rep!! I usually wait till only small dogs are in…

    I use this brand: http://www.weatherbeeta.com/ The cover I have for Jala (standard female) is 40cm or 16" (neck to tail measurement). This cover is really warm and waterproof. Subaruthie, the hoodies you made look so cool! :) [image: attachment_p_23194_0_img_0660.jpg] [image: attachment_p_23194_1_img_0659.jpg]

    I started with a cat toy with a pl bag tied on the end to see if they would be interested before i went any further. The I used an old fishing rod with rope tied from there. Kind of worked the same as a lunge whip. (I'm too cheap to buy one if I don't absolutely need one)
