Invisiable Fences - again…

Basenji Training
  • DukeD

    I think one of the reasons I've been successful with my fence in the last 4 years is that my dogs were trained when they were young. It's a possible reason. Duke has crossed the line a couple times: The first cause was because the battery had run out of juice, my error. The second time was because his collar had loosened up so that it was ineffective. In both instances, Duke was lured by other dogs on a walk with owners passing our house. These things have made me more mindful to check them every couple of months. I do worry about my dogs with the invisible fence, so much that to this day, they don't go out alone, never, not even in the cold frigid winter months. Thankfully, they quickly do their business and come running back into our warm home. However, I wish that we could erect a nice big privacy fence, but my neighborhood association does not allow them or a visible fence of any kind. :mad:

    Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.

    @eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...

    @zande - I have place pups at 9wks, but typically to prior Basenji owners, they know the "ropes"... also I do eyes at 9wks, so 10 works better for me in placing pups and yes...(LOL) mine are raised in the home, no kennel.... and the breeders that I know that use kennel runs, still have their pups in the house for house time and "education".....

    @klangill I asked in the Facebook San Diego (CA) Basenji Meetup group about trainers. A member recommended Crewsn K9 Academy. https://www.crewsnk9academy.com/ I posted early in this thread about checking with the local breed club, South Coast Basenji Fanciers, for advice.
