Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.
Walks not enjoyable
-
we tried both the leader (jonny can get it off in about 3 seconds) and the harness (it rubbed raw in his arm pits) so we are back to the collars for now. yikes.
-
I have used gentle leaders and haltis, mine got used to them very quickly, I only use a gentle leader on Chico at the moment (linked to a collar), Chico is the opposite of Jonny, he can't get his gentle leader off but he is good at slipping his collar!
