Have you read Control Unleashed? There was a blind basenji that would go up to sniff a human and then would nip. So they taught this pup a sniff then retreat type of behavior. The Look at That game, whiplash recall, mat work, off switch game are great for this sort thing. I think the basenji was talked about a lot on the CU list about a year or two ago, you may want to join and check the archieves.

Another welcome from Tampa here. Have you had the dogs to Dogwood Park? It is an amazing 26 acre fenced dogpark in Jacksonville with a huge pond, we planned a vacation a couple of years ago so we could stop there for an evening for our 3 to play. It really is great, and open to non-members on weekends for a very small fee.
This is a great place to learn about basenjis, the good and the bad. They are cat-like in personality, very clean and incredibly smart. You are in for some fun!
