New BCOA Basenji University courses

Basenji Training
  • Thx Linda. I was thinking I might want to try getting one of my dogs ready for obedience for next year and one ready for agility. Your videos are inspiring. I remember watching you and Katy Scott at Nationals in Colorado and thinking how amazing you and your b kidz (and Katy and her b kidz) were.

  • Great job on the obedience/rally course Linda!

  • Looking forward to the expansion of the College. I would really like some tips on training for racing (LGRA etc). My female loves to run and she is quite fast (I've been told she has very good potential). But when I took her to the local LGRA races last year a couple of "experienced" dogs got extremely aggressive to her and she, unfortunately, remembered and took revenge when they were racing together. And guess who got caught and disqualified! Tips for helping her focus on the lure instead ot the other racers would be much appreciated.

  • Good luck renault1 with your goals/aspirations re: trying your hand at obed/rally and/or agility. It is not rocket scientry. If this dolt can do it, I am almost certain you can too!

    Thanks KimMc.

    Wizard - the webmaster would very much like to have more courses as well, especially the lure coursing one. My understanding - a person was asked over 1 year ago to put something together and nothing has been done, despite repeated "promises" to the contrary. Unless and until the webmaster decides to ask another person (I personally think they should) - that course will remain undone. So it is not a lack of effort on the BCOA webmaster. Sad, but true and one of the downfalls of relying solely on volunteers. I have learned many people talk a good game but when it comes to actually participating, they are no where to be found.

  • Ah well, such is life – volunteers are volunteers.

    i walk the lab and isis at the same time one on hand and one on the other, the lab seem to have a major drive to sniff out anything and track blindly and of course isis will be doing the same, the b is easier to control cause she lighter but the m1 tank of the lab well.. we've came across little furry friends on our nitely walks i need to stay very focus on my surroundings, one thing the b does if theres someone walking behind us doesnt matter how far , she walk ahead stop and turn to look back, she'll keep doing this repeatedly like she warning me these something there,im sure its instinct on her end to,of course i confirm whats shes doing but yeah those b's dont miss a trick

    Yes, my girl was well socialized. It's not that my voice is so startling to her. It's more that she doesn't like to be scolded and will find a way in the not too distant future to repay me with her opinion. Since I learned a while ago to not do this, I haven't suffered her wrath in some time but when I did it could be anything from finding she had peed or pooped just out of my sight to finding something I value that had just been totally shredded. I found that I could scold her reasonably for what she had done but then I needed to immediately reinforce my love for her so that she knew she didn't need to rebel against me. This has worked well for me. Shouting at her would always reap me a grim reward in the end.
