Welcome to the Forum, Beth, Missi & Cooper.
I've read this whole thread - you've gotten some great advice! I have one more extremely helpful tidbit.
You might invest in the Basenji Owner's Manual from the Evergreen Basenji Club. Here is the link: http://www.evergreenbasenjiclub.org/
I bought this last year when after I got Duke, who's a Basenji-terrier mix. I only wish I had it when he was a young puppy. The advice and training tips given in the manual for this cute little stubborn breed is invaluable. We have just adopted another Basenji-mix who is now 12 weeks old. I got the manual out last week. I am following the age-based training guide with pleasure this time around with my young puppy. It only costs, I think $9 or $10. I highly suggest you check it out on the website.
Much luck to you and your roomy with Missi & Cooper. I'm so glad that they have such wonderful caring Basenji slaves.
