Help needed w/hunting study

    I have NO additional information about this; I'm simply cross-posting from another site,The Basenji Native Traits Preservation Project :

    http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/BNTPP/

    Hi all,

    I have written a few posts and had an article printed in the Basenji
    about some testing we developed for hunting traits in basenjis. I had
    asked for a little help with the testing and for volunteer dogs with
    the testing being conducted on one or two days during the Nationals.
    I received a couple of calls and well wishes for the project but
    nobody has really stepped forward.

    I'm fine with it if nobody is really interested; I just don't really
    have the time to set this all up and not have any dogs to test. So, I
    am throwing out one last request for help and dogs. Feel free to
    cross post this request. If I don't get any significant response by
    9/10/07 I will have to shut the testing program down for the time being.

    One of the best strategies if you will be going out is to put the treats in the crate a short time before you leave and lock the dog out, so he can see them but not access them. Hopefully by the time you are ready to depart the dog will be anticipating getting into that crate and enjoying his treats! This can work very well and result in a dog that is looking forward to you leaving. I did something similar with my dog's roller ball, loading it up and making him wait for it. This dog that formerly had separation anxiety would become impatient and sometimes baroo to tell me he wanted me to leave so that he could have his ball!

    I've had to retrain a pug and a chihuahua not to bite me when clipping their nails. The pugs' nails were left to grow and ended up growing into the pads of the foot. The vet wanted to put the dog to sleep to trim the nails. She now lets me trim the nails-with a dremel-without trying to bite. The Chihuahua was put under to trim it's nails before I had it. It took me six weeks to just touch it's feet, but after that we were able to move very quickly and cut it's nails within a few weeks. It does take a lot of time-but it's worth it.

    I do hope she losses interest. My B girl Sugar climbs. X-pens are definitely out unless they have a lid, and then she'll scream. I can block the kitchen off with baby gates if I have visitors but not from her-she'll hop right over from a sit. She has climbed the fence to get at a squirrel, but since I watch her I got to her before she got over. I'm just waiting for the tree climbing to start!
