    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.

    @eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...

    Sarge uses his cell phone and calls me.....seriously, it depends on the door. One he can open himself by pulling down the handle the others he just scratches.
