I give all the credit regarding Kipawa's mellowness to our breeders Therese and Kevin (FoPaw's Basenjis). They obviously did so much work in exposing Kipawa to a number of sounds and experiences. The carwash experience was really interesting. I thought he would be scared of it, but instead he seemed really curious. He especially loved the pink, green and yellow foam bubbles against the windows. Maybe he could pick up that I like them too? 🙂

awww… he's such a good boy!
-
Lol, thanks. I realized after that I sound like a broken record "Good Boy!!" after every one. haha
-
yeah, but what else could you say? excellent work there, chap? good boy is much easier.
-
Lmao…I think I will have to start saying that to people...but yes, Good boy will have to stick for Dexter.

i often feel like i'm having trouble with coming up with unique praise! i've got to change it up a bit at times, just to keep my sanity!
-
Haha I suppose I will be in the same boat in a coupe of years. English Teacher in training right here!
Dexter picked up on those 3 tricks sooo fast. I was surprised, but we are having a little trouble getting him to do stand. I wouldn't have thought that would be the difficult one! haha. -
Dexter is doing so well! Keep up the good work with him. As for 'praise' statements, I believe whatever comments come out of your mouth at the time are fine. I think it's the 'tone' that tells our dogs how happy we are with them.

Thank you very much! I was wondering how fast is too fast to be moving and how soon is too soon before I start on something new, not quite sure about that.

yay! good luck to you! it's such a fun job!
-
Your lil man is growing up nicely. They grow up fast don't they!
-
Oh goodness, yes! It's crazy how tall he is getting so quickly! I just want him to keep his little baby face forever! haha. He is having a hard time adjusting to the fact that he can't fit under the coffee table or sofa anymore….he still tries but has no success.
-
I bet he still tries to get under the coach. LOL…Bs are such characters. Does he run around all fast and frantically? (Basenji 500), I think that is the funniest and always makes me laugh!
-
Not as often as he used to, but he still does it once in a big while, and then he tries to dive under the couch like he used to, but instead he just slams into it because he is too big! haha
