Aww - he's so cute!! Happy Birthday Tucker! I love your tent. Looks like you're having such a good time today. Thanks for sharing these precious photos. I'm glad to see he's doing well.

How civilized! I can't imagine getting Lela or Binti to do that.
You would be surprised! I taught him "pick it up" with clicker training. It's a very useful generic command. You add the names of things as you go. Getting him to bring the item to me was a natural progression, starting with insisting he give it to me to "earn" his reward. Increasing distance gradually leads to a very good retrieve! Perry works best just before his supper time. He knows when he gets it right, dinner will be served. Motivation! :)
Putting agility titles on Basenjis is a lot of work, but I'm sure glad someone is doing it! I'm too lazy, but I love seeing what these dogs can accomplish. Congratulations!
