    That is awesome they know so much already! I JUST started clicker training my girl TODAY she is 12 weeks. She was having issues with food because she had no appetite but she eating good now and is interested so I decided to give it a whirl. She learned to sit, lay down, and roll over pretty well for her first day. I did not expect her to do so well. But I am so going to try to have Dolce try and "find John" my bf hahha such a good idea. He is jealous she likes me a little more than him right now because I have been able to spend the most time with her. I guess ur daughter and him have similar feelings.

    This a very interesting article, Andrea. I'm not a professionla trainer and only have little experience in the field of professional dog trainers here. Those I do know mainly use positive reinforcement but I also know some old school trainers who while professing to now use positive reinforcement do rather confuse the two. I love and totally agree with his statement that 'training is not something we do to our dogs: its something we do with them'. This I think sums up completely the way we need to train our Basenjis for the best results. Toughand Prissy, thank you for posting that excellent video link.

    @Quercus: I would probably do that. But the benefit to taking them each to class is that they learn to do the behaviors in a distracting environment. The flip side to that is how on earth would you be able to train both dogs at the same time in the class? LOL!! I was thinking that my son would come with me and train Daisy, while I train Duke. Duke is the toughest student - REALLY spastic. :eek: Everything is a distraction. Daisy is much calmer. So I should bring Duke to class and then go thru the same training exercises at home with Daisy. I agree that training in a distracting environment WITH instructor's help is best. But, yeah - I should save some $$ and only take one. Gasoline prices are killing my budget! :mad:
