    Wauw ! Hoe noemt men Basenji's ook al weer ? The Untrainable Dog ? Dit is nu eens een mooi voorbeeld van hoe je met liefde en geduld "zelfs" een Basenji schitterend kan trainen ! Proficiat ! Ik hoop dat ik het even ver als jullie kan brengen als onze vriend er is.

    Wow ! What is it they call Basenji's ? The Untrainable Dog ? Well this is a beautiful example that with lots of love and a lot of patience you can 'even' train a Basenji to become a wonderful companion ! Congrats ! I hope that once our little friend arrives I can manage to do as well as you guys do.

    :D Bedankt! Met liefde, geduld, tijd en humor kom je overal! Mirtillo vindt het heerlijk om samen te oefenen! Als ik een lach op m'n gezicht heb, weet hij dat hij iets heel knaps gedaan heeft :) (of iets heel stouts :rolleyes: )
    Ik weet zeker dat jullie dit ook gaat lukken!

    :D Thanks! With love, patience, time and humour you can achieve anything! Mirtillo loves it when we practice together! When I have a smile on my face, he knows he did something really good :) (or something really bad..:rolleyes: )
    I know for sure that you can do the same!

    I was really impressed by how your dog trusts you and stays even when you disappear behind bushes. Was the training time consuming? I am trying to train my 11 month old pup in the rudiments of sitting, staying and coming at so its good to see what is possible with these intelligent little creatures. Well done!

    Thank you :)

    The training is definitly time consuming. We started with sit and Mirtillo wasn't planning on laying down or staying for some time. I just waited untill I noticed that he was 'ready' for the next step. The laying down came when the temprature went up and the staying when it was too hot to move ;)
    For every new step he gets his favorite treat. For the things he already knows he gets some normal kibble.

    When I'm behind the bushes I'm still saying 'stay', so he knows I'm there. We are trying to get to 30 seconds without me talking.. But he's still a bit too young for that.

    And they are for sure intelligent creatures..

    @elbrant I hope it will arrive today and I will let you know of its success or otherwise. We will try it out immejutely it arrives. Mku slept with me last night. He slept like a log. I didn't, but at least it gave Paul a rest. The diffuser is supposed to diffuse comforting pheronomes. I like the idea of changing it to encourage eating etc. You could be onto a winner there !

    He does only poop in his crate, no urine usually. I am trying to gradually get him to like his crate, but I do think it might be a lost cause. But yesterday I left for about three hours and left him in the kitchen. When I got back, I opened the door and looked down to see not only my cat waiting for me but my dog as well… He found a way to get out of the kitchen and have the run on my apartment. I now know why basenjis are called escape artists. I was happy to find that although he had an accident in the living room, he didn't destroy anything. But I won't count on one time to trust him alone. I am going to stick with the kitchen and try to make sure he can't get out.

    When you feed him in the crate and close do you walk away? I had a foster that was terrified of the crate and also suffered terrible anxiety w/peeing in the crate too. So I would feed him in the crate and then close the door and sit right there with him. At first I only closed the door half way, did that way for about a week then was able to close it all the (without latching) for another week. I would sit right next to the crate and praise him for eating his meals. Then I would scoot a few feet back at one meal, move back at the next and do that for a for a few times. Then I would stay at the few feet back. It is a slow process but it really really helped him in his crate training process and getting him over his fear. I was soon able to feed him in his crate and walk away. He was running to his crate and sitting for his meals. He still had his anxiety for long periods w/the peeing problem but we even worked on that were we could leave for short times and he wouldn't pee in his crate
