    I do not allow ANY licking. I can't stand it. Thankfully Dashy is not interested in licking but my beagle tries a lot. YUCK!

    Don't every buy a basenji from me..gggg…. all of mine are confirmed lickers, some to the point of driving me crazy....:D Most the time I don't mind.... however when the tongue starts sticking to the skin, that is about enough...:D

    Sahara is a pants licker, why I don't know. She will also lick my ears, especially if I ask her for kisses, which doesn't bother me. She likes to lick my legs, Daddy's too at times. We see it as grooming her pack, any one know why they do this? I think it is all part of taking care of their other pack members!

    Just a side note here-I used to eat mud cakes when I was little out on the farm-so licking a dog's nose is nothing to mud, bugs, ect.

    I used to call Max an obsessive compulsive licker….he had licking OCD. He did not like giving kisses on the lips though--I really do think he didn't want my germs :) Tyler and Zoey, however, do not lick people--at all and do not give kisses. But Zoey will always lick Tyler's feet after he's been outside on the damp grass--it's very cute.

    Well after 3 nights Tiggy is an ear licker but it's just a few quick licks then he climbs to his part of the bed and chews on his chew toy for a bit and then snuggles into my shoulder blades.

    Sparkle Barkle came into heat in April. Logan went nuts! I was traveling so my wife was saddled with the mayhem. Mayhem doesn't begin to describe the situation. Sparkle should be coming in again within days, I hope, and unfortunately, he won't get any love this time either. He's gonna be a massive handful for at least a MONTH. I'm not traveling this time, so it's all on me. Cross your fingers for Tri females. I want three!

    Neutering is not going to help - training is. But a good trainer will train YOU to deal with the dog. If a trainer can get him to behave but you can't - there is little to be gained from paying out money. This is something you should never have allowed to happen, but since it has, I think you should deal with it and @JENGOSMonkey has given you a good idea to start you off. Withdrawing treats is a good idea, but also, get up and walk away. He could be biting to get attention and therefore you withdraw the attention at the first sign of a bite, with a firm NO.

    IMO it is a myth that Basenjis cannot have good manners on a walk. Yes, great if you can do off leash, but when circumstances dictate that a leash is necessary then walking calmly without a lot of drama and pulling should be achievable. Personally I do not like long lines or flex leashes. Or allowing dogs to eat whatever they find on the ground, which can in some cases earn you a trip to the vet or worse. Like most dogs, Basenjis are not overly discriminant about what they will ingest. A short leash and being observant can protect them from unwelcome outcomes. Mental exercise will also go a long way with any dog. But one should have a definite opinion about who is running the show, and it should not be the dog....they are quite willing to take up the position should you abdicate.

    Just thought I'd share an update on this. I removed the blankets from the crate and replaced them with a mattress. We have been strict about her only staying in the crate at night. When we have had accidents I have cleaned up, with a dog urine killing spray, and placed her back in the crate. Everything is progressing smoothly, not had any accidents for over a week now. So it's been a rather quick turnaround, lovely to have her properly crate trained again. Thank you all for sharing advice on the situation.
