@Saving thank you very much for the suggestions!
Distractions distractions….

Remember always keep things positive. Basenjis learn quickly with positive reward training. House Breaking can take up to 6 months to where they can be trusted. They have to develop physically to go longer between potty times. Also keep your dog on a schedual. When you wake up take her outside right away. Don't go in till she pees. Any time she goes potty outside, reward, reward, reward !
After her breakfast, go out again and wait till she poops. Also always have her on a leash when you go outside. If you can leave some poop outside this helps her associate that this is where to poop.
You sound dedicated, you will do fine. -
Always remember if there is an accident in the house, it is your fault…. not the puppies. And also keep in mind that during teething, I have found that there can be a set back when they totally forget about house training. Why that is, I don't have a clue, but I have had it happen with a few of my bitch puppies.
