Psycological potty train

    So we have the crate and have tried to adjust our B by putting him inside for 15-20 min. at a time..He hates it. Dosen't cry but won't go in willingly. Have tried the snacks, toys, food but he won't go in. Anyway when we are out we leave the crate open with his bed and some treats, that's because we are gone all day. Anyway the first day he pooped on the wee wee pads and today day 3, he does not go at all but waits until we get home and take him out. Is it possible that he knows we are trying to crate train him so he's trained himself? I wouldn't put it past him, these B's are truley an intellegent breed.;)

    I guess I'm just lucky with Finn. I'm sure he'd prefer it dry, although hes fine in the rain and snow! Maybe getting him around December helped

    If you use a squirt bottle, you will only have to spray the b a few times before they get the message…at least, that works in my house.

    Well.. tonight we had a 30 min. training to practice the weave poles. Tillo did ok. He was more excited than normal when we got out of the car and he had a big ridge when we walked to the field, but we were there 30 min before we started, so he was all calmed down at the beginning of the training :) I asked the trainer what he is going to do with Tillo and the Shar pei and he isn't sure yet.. :confused: This wednesday he will have a look and discuss it with the other trainers. He said that there is always a possibility that Tillo will be in a group with a male he doesn't like… so he doesn't think it's necessary to change the group. I told him I will quit and look for another training if he doesn't change something.. We'll see.. we'll see...

    @Nemo: Yep you can use a clicker for that too. I used a clicker to help me touch both of my dogs mouths, to brush their teeth, look at their teeth, touch their feet, hold their head, etc. when needed. I'll give it a try - maybe I can find a different clicker, one with a softer pop. It's funny sometimes how the cookie crumbles - I can't show Trinity, yet she's the one who lets me get right in her face, in her mouth, stands still when I want to inspect her…:p

    Basenjis have desires, we have desires to get to work on time. You can feed your b twice a day and do a poop right after they eat. That will help. When it is raining or cold I just throw on my slicker and accept that I will be getting as wet as my B. You may want to try Muttlucks which are great waterproof shoes made for dogs in the water or snow.
