New take on dominance

Basenji Training
  • There are many trainers out here. CM has a following because he makes it look so easy.
    What we see, might not be what happens a week, a month, or a year down the road.
    Being heavy handed and flooding are old style training methods that most modern trainers will not use.
    Re CM being on Animal Planet and it being ok…they have Animal Horders on Animal Planet and that isn't to be recommended.

  • Endeavor, you represent the dangerous part of CM. People without a lot of experience don't see with the same eyes. He is actually borderline abusive, imho. He is dangerous to the dogs and to the audience. His techniques will eventually get someone killed and certainly dogs euthanized.

    Rather than reinvent the wheel, how about you read this thread :)

    Take it REALLY REALLY slowly. Be sure to make good things happen when they are together and getting along. It took me 7 months to get my 4 yr old basenji rescue (who has a very high prey drive) to coexist with an old cat. If there is a bad experience, it can set everything back months, so be very careful to set up good experiences and avoid bad experiences.
