House training

Basenji Training
  • K

    HI! I am new to this forum and stumbled upon it by accident looking for help with my 8 month old Basenji named Rosco. We adopted him from the local rescue league when he was 6 months old. We had no idea what we were getting into haha! The problem that i am having is one the boundless energy woohoo he can just go and go!! The biggest problem is at first we thought he might be house broken with just a few accidents but the first snow came and he was not happy about it and since then (about a month ago) he has started to pee and poo in the house. Not all the time and never in his crate. How do we teach him not to go in the house and go outside only? We are new to this our last rescue was already house trained. We do also have the problem he likes to chew and take things and run around the house. We realize this is puppy behavior, he sure does keep us busy. We always say how can something so cute be so bad!

    I also have a Verizon air card USB - the video may use it all up. Also, instead of using the laptop with the air card, I used my home computer to call it up and found you have to subscribe to something in order to watch - it's my policy not to do that. So, even though the video may be great, you do have to sign up with something to do so.

    Arlo does "downs" like Zoni (Aries' niece :)) does….with extreme enthusiasm by slamming her paws to the ground. Love it.

    Have you tried to contact anyone in the Tucson Kennel Club? http://www.azdogs.com/tkc/ They don't have much of a website, but do have email addys for the President and Secretary. There are likely other kennel clubs in the area also

    @lisatest: Does a puppy have soft poop and as the puppy gets older the poop becomes more solid? It has been a while since I had a puupy so I can't remember. No… a puppy should also have a solid poo...

    Gbroxon - no big deal. No one knew Luny (aka Tommy) would exhibit SA and especially not in such a severe form. And I understood what you were thinking - about people dumping dogs. One of my stupid neighbors has gone that route (they've had 6 different dogs in 3 years - I won't talk to them anymore). And I don't know how many times I've come across people who say "oh what a pretty dog, I'd like one like that" when they see me walking my dog. I almost always discourage them from getting a basenji (with that attitude no dog would be good for them). So I'm with you there.

    We put the dogs on our schedual instead of waiting till they have to go- We take them out first thing in the morning after they eat & before they go to bed also anytime we come home after being gone or after heavy play/training. We also walked then to get it in their heads of marking outside. They now will hold it till their walks so they can mark as much as they can.
