"A Tired Basenji Is A Happy Basenji"
-
Wow BillyK! Thats impressive! 2 dogs at the same time…...crazy.
-
I have found the rear triangle of my mnt bike works well. I tried a lead but with squirells running around, I ended up on the street and my Basenjis dragging my bike behind them.
Solution, a 3 foot length of bungee cord. Available at Home Depot. This gives me time to react and most importantly, stay on my bike. This also allows a softer stop for your Basenji.
-
I would assume you were holding the lead in your hand and that is definitely a recipe for disaster. I hope you and the bike did not sustain any major damage
I considered the bungee as a shock absorber, but usually, Jenny is pulling forward and I rarely have to make a quick stop so I can slow her down.I also noticed that EVERY time we go for a run, Jenny will want to poop some time during the run, even if she went 20 minutes earlier.
-
I have seen some people use this…any thoughts??
BillyK-this is sort of the same physics involved with what you were saying.
I'm not an expert bike rider so hence my hesitation with using this on a regular bike….So I was thining of getting this & using it on an adult trike.
-
What a cool idea. And I ALREADY own a bike!!!
-
Yeah, I have a friend with one of those, but $48 is way more than the cost of a leash and a harness. He says the breakaway release is good if you find that don't pay attention to where your dog is all of the time. I don't know if the breakaway sets the dog free or not, but that would be the end of my basenji (cars are just giant rabbits to her).

I strongly believe a tired Basenji is an angelic Basenji. I finally figured out how to strap the backpack on it fits perfectly. I took the weights off my ankle weights and put a 1lbs. weight on each side. Well I'll tell you this makes all the difference. I only use it if I can't run with my B due to weather or if we are just going to go for a 20 min. walk. He comes home still alittle wired but after settling down he is relaxed the rest of the day. This is great.

ha ha lol lol
that's GREAT!!! I'm glad u figured out the backpack…it takes a while, I know -
It's funny to see him wearing it but it's my favorite buy. People make jokes about him carrying his own lunch. But hey it will be great in the summer time, now i have a place to keep the plastic poopie bags and keys.
-
Where did you find the backpack?
-
I went keyed in hounddog packback and i showed me some lists. I will try to look for the link and send it to you.

I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around.
Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!
