@eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...

I see your new and assume your from Or.
Welcome. Did you get your b from someone we might know? -
Don't know where you are in Oregon but the Evergreen Basenji is putting on ASFA lure coursing at Roy Polo Field in Olympia WA not far from Portland and I understand the field is worth the drive May 14-15 I believe, check out Evergreen Basenji Club website for more info.
Welcome by the way, you have the right color, would love to know like Sharron where you got your basenji. Also love to know your name and dogs name too.

What area are you speaking of?

Near the Roy polo field in WA …. If I have to drive 240 miles, I might as well stay the weekend.

I know there is a dog show this coming weekend toward Olympia with something basenji in the afternoon on sat. But I am not showing and so I am not up on it.
Therese, are you attending?
808Broo, you might get more help if you were more forth coming about yourself and your basenji. It helps, if you want to have friends to share…just fyi. -
You can find AKC Lure Coursing events at AKC.org on the Events page. You can select the states you would like included in your search.
You can also check ASFA.org & asfaregion1.com for events in the Northwest.Hope to see you on the field someday!
