  • Pretty b…
    If you want to work on bonding with him , get him into a gentle obedience class and start clicker training with your b.
    Also, I think most b's love routine..
    They like to know when they will get fed, walked and played with.
    That type of structure sure works for me.
    Have you considered doing Lure coursing with your pup.
    They love to run and a tired b is a happy b!

    Sharron,

    We are in a puppy kindergarten right now and he is doing alright. Sometimes, the treats just aren't enough motivation for him to listen to me and not want to just run and play with the other puppies. He listens much better outside of puppy class than in!

    How does one get into lure coursing? I located a place that does agility work about an hour away from me but don't know of any lure coursing places nearby. I know he loves it when I bike with him though!!!! I bike, he runs, people laugh at us and think we're funny… works for everyone.

  • @tanza:

    Welcome…. pictures please.... where/who did you get your B Boy from?

    As for the kitchen, for mine the dishwasher is a favorite... as in how many Basenjis can the dishwasher door hold?

    Pat,

    I got my little guy from Jerrie and Michael Timmons in Oklahoma.

    I am certain that if I had a dishwasher, Beegin would investigate it. He's gotten into and sat down (when he was younger) the refrigerator a couple times before while I was unpacking groceries.

    Has he or the parents been DNA tested for Fanconi? Please be sure to find out and if not, please consider having your boy tested. You can find infomation at www.basenjihealth.org

  • For lurecoursing…
    Have them check out the www.asfa.org website for a schedule of coursing all over the country.

  • Welcome to the pack. :)

  • Hey- I saw that you are in Massachusetts. We had a meet up at a dog park in Sharon and are having another in August. Don't know if you are nearby, but would love to meet up with you and Mr. B. See the Basenjis in Boston thread…

  • Welcome to the pack - love your pictures (#4 especially :))

    We always love seeing pictures and hearing about pups! (I call dogs of all ages "pups".) Please tell us about your Basenji's. :smiling_face:

    Agree with tanza, it's not good to overdo pain meds. An animal that doesn't feel the warning signal is far more likely to cause themselves harm. We want to protect them from discomfort, but at times that is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

    Remember, a tired Basenji is a good Basenji… and also it is much harder to introduce a puppy to olders in the house... I would guess while you think he is "after" them... he just wants to play... you have to that that position... if they don't want to play with him.... Puppies play hard... usually adults will correct wild childs play... but they still need an outlet for all their built up energy...

    LOL they look so wild and stressed out, NOT! I love this breed, it's full tilt whatever they are doing– play or rest. :) Welcome back.

    Hi Sharon; sorry this has taken me so long to get back, I am a home health caregiver and work 12 hour shifts so time schedules are often tight. This forum is one of my pleasurable moments. Anyway….to answer your question, we got our Basenji's from a breeder in Buffalo Minnesota (female) and Minneapolis Minnesota (male). Sorry, don't remember the breeders names.
