    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..

    My Dog used a Litter Box until 12 Weeks of Age. After that, I took her to the Horse Farm and let her 'Pack' with older well-trained Dogs. She mimicked their behaviors and she learned how to Sit, Stay, Come when called and lay down. The Dogs did a great job of training mine. I did not have very many problems. these dogs get a bad reputation for being hard to train but they really aren't. They are very stubborn and would rather die than negotiate. Therein lies the importance of understanding the Dog's body language, that tells you all you need to know. They are extremely intelligent and never forget a thing, including people and other animals. Good luck with it!

    Just a suggestion: When you see him "misbehaving" by chewing on 'less than ideal' items, offer him one of his toys and use the word "trade". In other words, 'chew on this instead', and when he accepts the toy - praise him. And when you see him get the toy on his own, praise him again. It could help him understand that certain toys are just for those times when you want to "rip someone's head off*". (*not meant literally, only in doggy world play)

    Arlo does "downs" like Zoni (Aries' niece :)) does….with extreme enthusiasm by slamming her paws to the ground. Love it.

    THANK YOU!! I finally feel there is somebody out there that 'gets it'. Our girl does not respond to any of the 'pack leader' stuff - I'm sure she was dumped because she is just such a stinker. Everytime I hit bottom somebody helps me through the disaster with encouragment (that's why I joined this group.) THANK YOU for your good thougths - things do progress - her private trainer is coming this weekend & we're doing the prong collar. Last night she sat in her crate for almost 45 minutes. No matter what, she's here to stay & she is so darn cute!!!!! That tail is really precious - thank you so much for all your e-support!! Joanne & Sophie:) :) :) :)
