Your basenji's tricks

Basenji Talk
  • @SenjiShowgirl:

    • go, zumi go! - and that starts a B-500!!

    Cricket's cue for starting the B-500 is "no, no, bad Cricket! GIVE THAT BACK!!!" :rolleyes:

  • Dolly's cue is somewhat like your Cricket's - but we don't have to say anything, all she has to do is see Bob with the Dremel! We then spend the next 10 minutes chasing her around the yard until she finally boxes herself into a corner.
    The only reliable trick any of ours have now is "Shake" before they can get out of the bathtub - and yes, they do shake when given the request! (Notice, I did say request, as it's pretty useless to command a Basenji)

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    Totally agree with Pat. I have two intact female B's. They are NOT the best of friends and have to be watched constantly. They are never alone together. Yes, they've gotten into knock-down drag-out fights. I've been in the ring with slit throats, chewed up ears, scabs, etc. Not a good idea at all. I can control it simply because I watch them constantly and when they start to show signs of aggression, one goes into the crate. But it's not easy, it's stressful on everyone, and I really don't recommend it.

    My Basenjis catch and kill wasps and have never got stung in doing so - their snap and release is too quick for them to get stung. However one did get stung on his foot when he trod on a dying bee. Often Basenjis get frightened of a particular thing when they sense their owner's fear. Are you afraid of wasps, Shelley?

    I wash my dogs teeth every day. On beginning was hard…they do not like this-however I can this make. Care about teeth is very important-I use paste-STOMAGEL and Petosan.
