What's That Magic Word

Basenji Talk
  • If my wife says the word "Puppies" with the right tone in her voice, they know they are going to get something good.

    Also, the are addicted to Greenies (which unfortunately they can chew in 30 seconds with the new softer composition), so if she says "Greenie Time" or even askes "What Time is IT?" they will immediately run over tot eh place we keep the greenies.

    Also, if we ask "Who's Here?" they will run all around looking for the visitor.

  • We have a few of the "usual" words – esp. "cookie" -- but what really gets both B's going -- or should I say coming running from even a different room --
    is if they hear Gypsy's jaw snap, as in "she just got food, what's in it for us".

    Amazing the distance from which they can hear Gypsy get a bite of anything. LOL

    A lot of research shows that dogs develop male hormone driven behavior well before a year, and that neutering after the behavior will not stop them. But the decrease in hormones will help making training those behaviors far easier, so early or late, you can usually get a bump in decreasing unwanted behaviors. Glad all is well.
