How to stop a basenji from begging LOL

Basenji Talk
  • @TuckerVA:

    Yeah, I know, WHO gives their dog TACO BELL? Furthermore, who EATS Taco Bell??? :D

    LMAO, I will have to raise my hand to BOTH, I love Taco Bell, and I have been known to get a plain chicken taco, well with cheese and tomatoes for my guys. No sauce though (even though Reggie LOVES it) boxer butt is one of the worse when it is gassing you

  • I swear I've never heard a dog pass an 'audible', but Tucker certainly does. Sometimes I wonder if one of my sofa springs has just given out…and then the smell hits me...

    "squeeeeeek".....BAM! choke choke

  • I LOVE Taco Bell! LOVE! When i went traveling around the world a few years ago i was CRAVING Taco Bell like you wouldn't believe… I actually looked on the Taco Bell website to see if there were any in the places I was going and there was supposedly one in Santiago, Chile.. where i was going 4 months into my travels...I spent my first day in Santiago there searching for it!!! Here is my blog entry from that day!

    You poor thing, but that was quite the adventure lol, I had to read through more of your blogs, it sounds like you had a wonderful time

    I've had plenty of dogs stinkin up the joint, but I never heard it till we had a Basenji. They jump up a couple of stairs and you hear this "poof".:D

  • Thanks! Yeah, the traveling was fantastic. Its amazing how much I started to crave "familiar foods" after being gone for so long. After I didn't find the Taco bell, I ended up at KFC ha ha.

  • The only time Ruby ever passes gas (she doesn't get human food, except a tiny bit of peanut butter in her kong) is when she has had shots at the vet. Then the next 4 hours after the shots are DEADLY…silent but deadly :eek:. The only dog I've ever actually heard let one fly is my friend's black lab...it farts all the time with plenty of sound :eek:.

  • Tucker's sound like a childrens bugle…if you can imagine a sound like that. Like a bugle, but MUCH smaller and higher pitched. He waits until I lie down next to him and then rips one in my face. Clever dog.

    I drove 9 hours to Highlands, NC over the holidays. I always knew when he ripped one. He would politely leave the front seat and relocate to the back until the cloud dissipated.

    This thread stinks! :D

  • Tayda will let off some really stinky ones! Lenny really doesn't, or else he's learned to leave the room when he does….

  • Maggii will "fart" and cough… ggg... in her elder years now she has a persistant cough and will have a coughing rage... and fart at the same time... lucky that there is no odor... but you can sure here them....

  • goober farts silently. and in the car. when it's -7. and the car doesn't really have heat. during the conversation with my wife over whether we should have ever gotten dogs.

  • DH made a burger that I picked up for him from this gourmet grocery store near my work (an hour away, use to be our favorite store to shop in when we lived there in an apartment), he spent twenty minutes preparing the grill, his salad, hamburger bun, etc. and with one swoop of a second Zahra who had been sitting nicely beside him on the chair came in through his arm and body and took the top bun, must have dropped the burger on the floor and wasn't smart enough to run with it. :rolleyes:

    DH put her outside and was fuming mad, I was nice and let her back in but put her upstairs in her kennel with her dinner. DH said she needed to stay in solitary confinement for a while because he was really mad.

    She was back in our company within the hour. I think we probably could avoid the problem if we ate at the dining room table but like you said we are lazy! Oh, and the tv is in the living room! :D

  • EL D kicks out the silent but deadly type. I haven't been able to figure out what tips it off though.

  • I recently gave Spence some of that EVO puppy food mixed in with his dry food at the evening meal. Well the result was rather odoriferous. He sleeps with us and I am now not allowed to give him any of it unless he eats well before bed time. I have woken up with his rear end pointed toward my face….kinda scarey.

  • Basil only passes gas when there's company over :D And BOY does it stink!

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
