    That little rugrat Cairo has his mommy trained. He hasnt changed with the time change and wakes me up every morning at 5:30am. MOM I GOTTA PEE!!!!

    So I stumble outside with him and back into the kennel to sleep an hour more. It is dark and Caesar is sleeping, why can't Cairo.

    MOM I GOTTA DO THE OTHER THING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I get up again and take him out. Back into the kennel.

    I am snugged up in the bed all cozy and ready for my 30 more or an hour if I am bad sleep until the alarm goes off.

    MOM I CANT STAY IN THIS KENNEL ANY MORE!!!! COME GET ME OR I WILL WAKE EVERYONE UP!!!

    Cairo and Caesar proceed to snuggle with mom on the couch and sleep! This has happened the past 3 mornings.

    Cairo is such a little punk!

    Caesar and Cairo….the boys

    The absolute worst thing about this time change (aside from the lessened amount of daylight walk time), is that Stormie and Nikki were so used to their dinner being served at 6:30 PM. Now they start pesting me at 5:00 PM for dinner and they put on those, "PLEASE MOM! We're STARVING and wasting away to practically NOTHING" eyes! Ha! Little rugrats is putting it nicely! :D ;)

    hopefully Dex is just teething. I worked very hard to keep toy-drive in Zest as it can make training easier and more fun. And she still often gets a treat for retrieving or tugging her toys.

    Hello Chealsie508, First off, very lovely pics. I am no basenji expert, but have come to the realization that Bs can at times be a bit disobedient as far as listening to commands go. Me and my B are currently in obedience class and she is towards the bottom of the class (during class…but much better at home)! I would try and redirect Oakley when he wants to nip with giving him an appropriate toy for that activity...be consistent. Hormones could be a factor and I agree he is in his terrible 2s and testing you and your limits, perhaps trying to be the dominant pack leader. He may just be playing and doesn't realize he is hurting you...pull away and say OWWW real loud every time. With licking the tops of soda cans, I am a little lost there since I have not witnessed such behavior or at least not with such focus...I know it sounds easy but also try and redirect the activity with something else Oakley may like...when he goes for the can tell him to sit, praise him "good sit" and treat, then walk away. Hope you find this helpful.

    If you use a squirt bottle, you will only have to spray the b a few times before they get the message…at least, that works in my house.

    @Nemo: Yep you can use a clicker for that too. I used a clicker to help me touch both of my dogs mouths, to brush their teeth, look at their teeth, touch their feet, hold their head, etc. when needed. I'll give it a try - maybe I can find a different clicker, one with a softer pop. It's funny sometimes how the cookie crumbles - I can't show Trinity, yet she's the one who lets me get right in her face, in her mouth, stands still when I want to inspect her…:p
