    last night my boyfriend and I played monkey in the middle with rocky :D he sat on the floor and i sat up on the bed and rocky ran back and forth between us for a good amount of time… he'll fetch his fuzzy toys and brings them right back.. but he lets you know when hes done.. [he'll circle around on the bed and PLOP down:D ] it only lasts a few minutes though..

    One thing I discovered with my B is that he likes ANYTHING plush (such as slippers, balls of yarn). Even though it makes a mess. I'd rather have him take out his need to destroy plush things on his stuffed toys than on any of my belongings. As long as he has his toys he seems less likely to find the need to seek out my belongings.

    Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.

    @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".....

    @klangill I asked in the Facebook San Diego (CA) Basenji Meetup group about trainers. A member recommended Crewsn K9 Academy. https://www.crewsnk9academy.com/ I posted early in this thread about checking with the local breed club, South Coast Basenji Fanciers, for advice.
