A question about socializing a pup

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • :)For our basenji, we are enrolled in Kindergarden and I now refer to my treats as the "Bag of Persuasion"! The clicker has become our friend and what fun we are having! The cat is now the problem! She likes to be chased and little Kismet likes to catch and take down the cat! Not sure how we will train to not take down the cat without the cat helping! She is just too sweet and refuses to use claws or teeth on the puppy! Going to ask the trainers for help if there is any! Kindergarden for puppies is awesome and we highly reccommend it! Be prepared to be embarassed by your basenji! It makes it more fun since you never know what they will do next! Kismet is the class clown! She thinks she teaches the class! Happy adventures!

  • Socialization and puppy training are of utmost importance as puppyhood is the most important and critical time in your dog's development. What you do and do not do right now will affect your dog's behavior forever.

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    @sbaker: Is this something we have a chance of him over coming so he we be able to show in the breed ring Exactly like Nemo says.. you need to take your time and get him used to strangers without forcing him…. But it will take time .... and you can not force the situation Who is his breeder if you don't mind sharing?

    Tillo just ate a big piece of raw Salmon.. (got it for free.. my dad actually sells fish) and he loved it! So.. an occasional fish wouldn't harm your pup. ;) If you want to feed your B raw, you should really try to learn about the different ingredients they need.

    Robyn posted on a Facebook today, so perhaps she is just busy with other things.
