It's been my experience that sometimes my basenji just gets it in her head that she doesn't like another dog, and for seemingly no good reason. I have been able to mitigate her behavior, but this is not a cure….
First, an excited basenji is a biting basenji. Make sure he's calm. Make him sit. Exert your dominance. Stand over your dog, look him in the eye. You need to snap him out of his mindset and remind him that you're in charge and he doesn't need to be aggressive.
It will take time and patience, but he can be made more comfortable...
I've also found that walking together as a "pack" helps. The two humans in the middle, the dogs held on a very short leash to either side, and you ignore your dog's aggression, focusing them on the walk itself. After a short while, they should just about forget one another. But this also acclimates them to each other. Good luck!
New Coats!!!

Those all look great!!! Funny side note: my boyfriend was looking at them too & said he loves the camo coat [go figure since he hunts] :p I told him when he learns how to work a sewing machine he can make one for Dallas. Hahaha.
I have tons of camo left; I'd be happy to make him one to spare him the trouble of learning to sew. haha!

If you have the time that would be so incredibly kind! I have been looking for a winter coat for Dallas anyway. What kind of measurements do you need? I would obviously give you some money for your trouble & for shipping
Let me know! -
Nina, I mentioned the measurements in my longer post above…

These coats look great!! Tillo is jealous at Booger!!! He likes the camo as well!

Let me know!E-mail me at carriesquires@gmail.com & I'll e-mail you all of the measurements & pricing info. If I run out of camo, I will gladly run to the store & grab some more as a couple other people are requesting it. You can also pick out your own fleece at joann.com or hancockfabrics.com or other similar websites if you prefer.

Wooo-Hoooo!! Carrie rocks. Katie and Tyler will be watching for the mailman!!:D
Thanks again, Carrie.

Just wanted to let you all know Tyler and Kate LOVE their new coats from their newly appointed 'Auntie' Carrie:) I can't wait for my daughter to get home and see these two strut their red carpet wear.
I have the heat turned down a little more and both are snoozing comfortably on the couch through this football Sunday. Neither are moaning or groaning for a blanket to sleep under (they'd be out of luck as the husband commandeered the thick, fuzzy pup blanket because "it's cold in here"; now he too is snoozing peacefully on the couch as I watch football by myself:D )
Peace and tranquility at last. Just what I needed after a week of frantic house/dog deskunking.
Thanks Carrie. The coats are wonderful (perhaps you could expand your line to cover the now cold DH!!:D Perhaps matching foot warmers?)

Snorky998– Where are the pics?!

Does anyone keep coats on inside? Do you leave them on the pups when you're not there?

Rio sometimes wears a coat in the house. She also likes to have a coat on in her crate when it is cool at events. Today she wore a coat most of the day at the races.
