My Basenji Kobi gets along with all dogs she has met except one particular one in our sub. For some reason they
just dont like each other, and he is just as growly with her as she is with him. Now I took her to my brothers house and
she met his dog for the first time, a huge boxer pitbull mix. And they were a little snarky with each other at first,
but the minute they got off the leash and were running around the yard they had a blast. But in the house his
dog was very domineering and they got into it a little. But we watched them and they seemed to work it out. His
dog was definitely the dominant one in the house, but my little girl ran circles around her outside. She was definitely
the leader outside. His poor girl could not keep up with her. lol.
Dog Training

We are looking for a trainer for our Basenji. She is 8 months old and has been training since we first got her at 3 month old. We really need a hound or a trainer experienced in training our lil girl.

Where do you live?
If you go with only positive training groups, they really can handle your basenji.
I would suggest you start here with these 2 lists:
https://apdt.com/
https://positively.com/dog-training/find-a-trainer/find-a-vspdt-trainer/And while you find a trainer, start going through Mary's lessons on your own and let us know what particular rough patches you are hitting?
If you can master the lessons on the left and mostly the "trouble shooting" ones on the right, a trainer will simply help you polish up spots.

@Mswina - Have you spoken to her breeder?

What type of training are you interested in? Is this a housebreaking issue, obedience problem, or some behaviour you want to discourage? Since you have posted in behavioural problems, I assume you are having some difficulties with something. If you are more specific it might be easier to point you in the right direction, i.e. to an obedience trainer or an animal behaviourist.
