Psycological potty train

Basenji Talk
  • 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.;)

  • By the was when we leave he is not in the crate.

    I agree with telling them you are leaving. Sneaking out can result in panicked looking for you, which is not a good thing.

    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

    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

    I have read such horror stories about dogs who fly in the below cabin because they are too big to go under the seat - my smallest weighs 20.8 pounds, and would never settle for one of those Sherpa bags - they look very useful for smaller dogs though. If the time comes I have a long way to travel, we will drive it.
