@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'm pleased to say that today Kwame passed his KC Good Citizenship assessment aged 8 months.
It was a bit of a stressful day with several handicaps but the boy did us proud.
We got to the training venue early so he could have a good sniff around and greet the other dogs.
However the examiner was over an hour and a half late due to road closures and the rubber walkways in the building had been mopped and remainded wet throughout the assessment.
