First Bath and First Rain Walk

Basenji Talk
  • Magic does not very like wet grass:eek:

  • LOL, sounds like you should call her Princess Magic

  • :D :D :D Her name - Magic of Luxury:D almost how princess:D

  • Thats a very cute name!! :D

  • Rain does not bother our dogs as long as you go with them. Going alone- forget it!

    Or male pee's on him self all the time, then he promptly licks it off (refer to no kissing thread)

  • So maybe I got one that doesn't mind water to much.

    ha ha, just wait….

  • @Mantis:

    ha ha, just wait….

    LOL, I don't know he tried to climb in the shower with me yesterday, and it's been raining since he got here and Reggie is more unhappy about the rain than Tiggy

  • I have a cat that is fascinated by the bathroom. Tuk will lay in the bathroom sink, even if I have the water turned on lightly! If I am in the bathtub, he will try to sit on my chest. If I am taking a shower, he will jump in and stand between the bathtub and the shower curtain. When I exit the shower/tub, he jumps into the bathtub and walks around or else rubs against my wet legs. Its weird. He's weird.

  • Uku doesn't enjoy rain much but wet grass is ok!
    I haven't tried the shower yet thinking he was too young for it :( , but the next nice and sunny day, I will give it a try.

  • I have a cat that will walk around in the rain, she likes it. :eek: But if it is thundering, she heads for her cat door in the garage, hates thunder. My Basenji, Sahara hates wet grass, but is better about getting a bath now that I give her a treat when we are done. We carried her out in the boat, with her lifepreserver on and she liked it Ok. She is getting better but won't go outside to potty when it is raining unless Mom goes with her on a leash and an umbrella. Hence, her name Africian Queen Sahara!!!!!!:D

    We made the mistake of getting a cheap pen with horizontal wiring ($35). Then we got this as recommended by Michelle Lennon ($99). He can't get out of it, though for several weeks he could squeeze through. At 13 weeks, he's too big for that now. Regalo 192-Inch Super Wide Adjustable Baby Gate and Play Yard, 4-In-1, Bonus Kit, Includes 4 Pack of Wall Mounts Regato 192" gate I also recommend her "Dream Dog" course. I trained 9 years ago with a local pro, but this is more detailed and better organized. Takes a month for a person to get through the course, worth every penny. She also offers a lot of free content, and if you go to the "pro" level for another $75 per month, one can access three weekly zoom meetings with her and co. and get questions answered 24/7 via their facebook interface. For what one gets, it's a real bargain. I used it for a month and found it very helpful. How to Train a Dream Dog To be sure, I don't agree on every detail. For example, I do no-leash walks in woods; they don't recommend that. Also, her course is not really designed to train an active "outdoor" dog, but more for an "indoor" dog. She opposes electric fences and doggy doors. I've had great experiences for 9 years with both and will continue to use them (started electric fence training last week and making good progress). But otherwise, her course lays out solid foundation work. She trains you to be a puppy trainer and provides all the real-time help you could need. Happy training!
