  • How did Nosey get his name? I've got a nosey one too but her name is Abbey. She thinks everything is her business!


  • I think it is part of a Basenji to be nosey, my B is nosey also. She is walking around the house right now with paint on the side of her face and ears b/c she was being nosey at what Daddy was doing. I got a new front door so my hubby was painting before putting it in when Sahara had to get in the middle of what he was doing. I had just gotten up white paint from my hardwood floor she had on her paws, this girl is into everything today. She loves to surf my tables to see what she can get into her mouth to chew, does anyone have ideas on how to correct this unwanted behavior? I can't imagine what she is going to do once I put out my Christmas stuff!!!!!

    When my hubby and I picked him up and got him in the car to head home, I made the comment, "you sure are an inquisitive little guy, real nosey". Hence, his name became, Anna's Mr. Inquisitive, or Nosey, for short.


  • I don't think they ever grow out of getting into things. We stopped putting decorations on the bottom of the trees. Finally we did away with the trees all together. lol:D


  • Ours will "usually" stay off the tables, except for Dude and Arrow. They are convinced the kitchen table is for jumping on, even when it's completely empty.
    Our Christmas tree goes on an end table with a white picket type garden fence around it. The fence is only about a foot high, but they do seem to respect it and it keeps the boys from marking the tree!

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!
