    Yesterday we got our The Basenji magazine. I had paged through it but hadn't really taken a close look at it but had it sitting on my desk when my husband got home. He picked it up and thumbed through it stopping at the stats page that lists all the standings for various organizations. He then says to me, "Hey Cole is tied for 16 in AKC lure coursing, hey, Rio is in 10th, how is she is beating her brother?", "I didn't think we did all that much racing this year, how did Rio get to be 12 in NOTRA?", "Hey, Cole is in the top 20 in LGRA and ASFA."

    Today I sit down and open my email and have a message from my mom, Cole's owner. She just got her The Basenji magazine today and writes, saw the Kinetic kids in the Top 20, 2 in AKC, 1 ASFA, 1 LGRA, 1 NOTRA. Apparently she and Sam have the same reading habits.

    Funny thing is, I usually look at those stats pages last so who knows when I would have actually noticed. They are not the year end stats but still pretty cool to see.

    @elbrant said in Operant Conditioning (explained): @eeeefarm said in Operant Conditioning (explained): some professional trainers suggest to their classes that they starve dogs that aren't all that food motivated This is just disturbing... in today's society, this type of behavior would be considered animal cruelty. Certainly we can find a way to encourage compliance without depriving an animal basic care. I know, it shocked me too when I heard it. The first instance was a friend of mine whose Border Collie was disinterested in food rewards, and she was advised by the instructor not to feed the dog anything on class days so there would be an incentive to accept treats. The second instance was my niece, and in this case a German Shepherd dog that again didn't want to take treats, and she was given the same advice by a different trainer, in fact in a different city, so it appears that it isn't unusual. Both these dogs work well for praise and in both cases the owners declined to starve the dogs....

    @zande - I have place pups at 9wks, but typically to prior Basenji owners, they know the "ropes"... also I do eyes at 9wks, so 10 works better for me in placing pups and yes...(LOL) mine are raised in the home, no kennel.... and the breeders that I know that use kennel runs, still have their pups in the house for house time and "education".....

    Management is the greatest tool for preventing this kind of behavior. Also, as others have mentioned, exercise and wearing them out energetically is very useful as well. If they have access to an appropriate toy to chew on, are managed correctly, and get enough daily exercise, you shouldn't have too many problems.
