As everyone here has said, it's possible to expect your basenji to e "reasonably trained" - but, that doesn't mean he/she is going to do it every time, and they are very easily bored. As someone has as a tag line, "A Basenji does not obey to orders, it may listen to proposals." The operative word here being "may." Success ten times in a row is no assurance regarding the 11th time. Still, they are worth it. As to the furniture, etc., we finally decided to make a choice: a pristine household or basenjis. Guess what we choose. …....

Same goes for having a nice garden, or not.

Y'a know, just a random thought.
I love Rotties, chows and basenjis.ANCIENT breeds – chows and basenji in the oldest group.
New breed::: Rottweilers.You can teach a freaking Rottweiler to do ANYTHING, consistently. They live to please.
Chows and basenjis-- yeah right.
I remember about 15 yrs ago going first to the American Rottie front page online... article on how to get your dog to do a flip and finish etc.
I go to the Chow page. I am not joking.. main article... How to Teach Your Chow to Come.
I laughed a long long long time at the truthfulness of it all. I once knew a lady here in GA that got OBEDIENCE AND AGILITY titles on her dogs. I one day got to meet here when I picked up a rescue to transport and so I asked her HOW. She said, you have to do it young because between 18 mos and 2 yrs, they stopped performing for you.
So, at least we aren't alone.
Chow Rules
