@debradownsouth your post rings true and though I hate that this has to be the solution- unfortunately if I lock her in any sort of room she instantly scratches frantically at the carpet, ripping it from the tacks in 5-10 minutes. I’d love to give her free roam of my place- as I did my last place- but she’s not comfortable enough yet and will destroy the carpet and maybe the couch as well.
She is odd in the way she acts. She has plenty ability to get away from the kids and loud noises but does not move away from them. She will just give a short protest growl as they walk by.
Giving her treats in the crate doesn’t work. She’s still to frantic to even think about them while in there. She goes nicely into the crate and doesn’t have to be forced, but has now taken a step backwards since she got out the one time.
We go to the dog park frenquently and she gets long walks everyday as we live in a town that’s easily walk-able. I even have the 6 year old wall her.
The Prozac, thus far, has helped her to not be so frantic during the day when the kids are under toe.
Basenjis are hard (as we all know) and this is not my first by far.
Need help ASAP

I have a 12 week old Basenji and she is starting to get a little aggressive with our other two dogs. this Morning my wife thought is was going to be a full blow fight between them. had to break them up.. Does anyone know what I can do to try to stop this? I do not want to get ride of any of the dogs due to this..
-
Have you talked to the breeder? And aggressive how? Over toys? Over food? Over the humans? Sometimes 3's a crowd and it just doesn't work… If over food and/or toys then you need make sure you feed separately (if you are not doing that already) and with toys and there is problems, then they have no toys unless supervised or in crates.
Many times what seems to be an all out fight is really the adults teach the pup its place
-
They eat in different rooms to be safe.. They were playing and then the Basenji ( Cheyenne) attacked one of our other Babies.. Toys are fine.. Humans no Problem
-
What breeds and ages are the other two dogs? And what sex? 12 weeks is pretty young to be getting pushy. How did the others react to her aggressiveness?
-
one is about 14-15 weeks old she was the one she got into with it. she yelped out wife broke it up.. the other one is 2 both are shih tzu's all are female
-
I would be more inclined to think that the one that yelped was telling the other (B puppy) TOO Rough… that is how they communicate..... unless it is really a fight, you really need to let them work it out.
And honestly, three bitches in one house?.... could be Trouble waiting to happen
-
In all honesty, there is not enough detail to know what the heck happened. When puppies get overly tired they do not always know how to disengage and calm themselves. Some will just keep amping up until they are over threshold. I saw this a lot with my two boys this year and frequently had to separate them so they could calm down and sleep otherwise they would just pick and pick on each other until one had a tantrum.
-
Since they are so young I would assume it is each trying to figure out where they fit in the scheme of things and you may be overreacting. I will however tell you that the one breed of dogs that my basenjis have never liked is ****zu.
