Meeko my Tri-Colored Basenji

Member Introductions
  • This is Meeko my Tri-colored Basenji born August 2009. He came from Kara Leerhoff. He is a great dog, very cuddly, loves people and other dogs. He easily was house broken with only 5 accidents inside the house. However, he does not like to walk on the leash he pulls and pulls even though he has been to obedience training. Hopefully I will be able to find some tips on here.

    Respectfully,

    Thomas

  • cute puppy!

  • Hi Thomas and Meeko! Welcome to the forum - glad to have you here. What kind of a collar are you using to walk Meeko? I use a wider martingale (greyhound style) and it works well. Training has to be consistent, though. I know others here will give you lots more advice.

    Cute Boy, don't know Kara Leerhoff? Is there a kennel name that is used? Pedigree? Many of us are related by our Basenjis

  • Thomas, I use loose leash walking training because pulling on a leash is one of my pet peeves. I have trained feral dogs to walk on a leash without pulling in only a few days, so trust me it works.

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    If you click on the last icon with the arrow up icon, you can upload photos. They need to be in JPG format I think.
