    Hm…I suppose what dog could resist a crate layered like that? Dallas has a huge blanket, then a giant teddy bear, a small pillow & a fleece blanket (that I've been wrapping him up in to put him in the crate). He still won't go in unless he's being fed or given treats :p I don't know what else to try to convince him that the crate is a good place.

    Do you crate her when you leave the house? If so, do you leave all that stuff in there with her?

  • yep. i go to college every day during the week and shes in there while im there.. her cage is always jam packed with stuff.. she gets treats when i leave/before bed. we leave the door open, and she goes right in herself when shes sleepy and not on the bed with us..

  • @tanza:

    Who are you getting your new little guy from? Color??? Inquiring minds want to know… especially those of us that didn't get or have puppies this year, we miss that wonderful puppy breath!

    i am getting him from linda ferguson in delaware. its where mantis got her little boy cairo from. he is a black and white

  • Can't wait to see another black/white puppy! Of course, I'm partial for the color. However, I haven't ever seen a puppy I didn't love. Good luck neffjohn. Start a new thread with details and pictures …. please???

    Who is the pup's Sire and Dam? Not familar with that breeder.

  • how exciting for you - what is her kennel name - have we seen her dogs out at shows etc etc etc.

  • The name is familiar, but I don't know why!

    Hopefully all health testing was done for your pup including DNA for Fanconi. Anyone that would knowingly breed a litter for the Fall of 2007 without testing first is IMO, not a responsible breeder as there is no excuse….. OK off the soapbox!

  • I just posted this link in a different thread but feel so strongly that all potential puppy buyers should read this that I am posting it again here. Anyone who is purchasing a puppy this year should read this short and very heartfelt article about why the DNA test for Fanconi is so important and why you should only support breeders who have done the testing.

  • Linda where is that from - I would love to add a link to it from my website!

  • dmcarty is that your B in the pic w/ your name what a regal looking B just wanted to let you know

  • Thanks, that is CH Mijokr Jacque ChewzToes. He has some lovely small hooded ears that we don't see too much anymore - he is rather 'full of himself' as you can imagine. (but then again - what basenji isn't)

    @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".....

    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.
