    Oatmeal in the ground beef will be great, did you find 'satin balls' here, if not I have the recipe. Rich, but if a dog tolerates it they will gain weight!

    nobarcus wrote you could have one of those reality shows like the Ozzy Osbourne Family only it would be all the craziness the dogs were creating That would be so funny and doopey.. Kanagan wrote He's an extremely picky eater. I cannot motivate him with treats at all. Anyone else with a Basenji like this? Otis will eat anything..except the fish my hubby caught during our trip last week..we took it into his mouth, chewed on it for a few seconds, spit it out and thn tried it again, with the same results..he just could not get himslef to eat it. The dachshund on the other hand devoured it, only to realize too late what he had done, then he had this horrified look on his face..as if he had eaten poison or something..hilarious in my eyes, not so much in Gus' eyes..Otis and Luna thought he was insane for eating the fish..it was even cleaned and filead (sorry about spelling, having a blond, foreign moment and can't think of it..), but nope not edible in their mind..

    When Cairo was coming into his manhood which was around the later part of his 4th month he began to try to dominate every dog (male or female) at the dog part. We were in the smaller dog pen, so there were plenty of smaller dogs for him to dominate. I recognized the behavior (not full mounted, but the arm on the back) and we didnt go back until he was fixed. Major difference. I would suggest going to a Petsmart and doing your normal commands there. It is so busy and loud there that you can practice getting his attention. Having an intact dog at the dog park is a big challenge. You dont want to take treats into a dog park in case some one else's dog is food aggressive and you have to feel confident you can pull his attention away from his interest when you want. I would think any kind of training that included socializing with other dogs would be a big help.
