  • She does very well for 5 months! She never runs off?


  • ooooow….

    I loved the pics.....
    She's great!


  • @nobarkus:

    That's the question I have! I've seen pictures of B's off leash on trails and at the beach, etc. and they aren't running away after stuff - yet, everything I've read says we should never let them off leash because of their hunting/prey drive! I've never tried to see if Shaye would run, because if she did, I could never catch her - what's up with the free dog roaming??

    Hello. I use to walk with my dogs behind the town on very large area with fields and forrests…I allways let them both off leash....sometimes Mody doesn?t want to come immediatelly but when she sees Simba running to me, she joins him..That?s great when one of the dogs listens:D but she is really great, she never runs too far and that?s why she deserves to be free, when there is no chance to run under the car, of course...

    @Patty: What a Star! Such a clever boy. I only know one other Basenji who can fetch any named article! I have had a couple, but Perry is the best! My girl Lady would bring me a bone on request (one of those processed white bones) and also her collar…...which she didn't like to pick up (esthetics, I think.....didn't like the feel in her mouth), but she would if I insisted. Funny story. I would send Lady to retrieve her bone from the basement. I had a treat at the ready as a reward. She would start down the stairs, get halfway down, then return to make sure I still had the treat for her. It usually took her 3 or 4 attempts to make it all the way to the basement and return with the bone! :) Sunny had a fairly good repertoire as well. I started using "pick it up" with him, because I had read Chuck Eisenmann's book. I find "pick it up" a very useful command, as you can point to pretty much anything and invoke it. Naming the object moves you towards the goal of recognizing and bringing the items you desire. Anything that increases vocabulary and understanding improves communication with your dog, IMO. Since I discovered clicker training, I have really enjoyed using it, as it speeds things up greatly, and the dog soon learns that when the clicker appears it is time to start offering behaviours. :)

    @Petra: I really didn?t know our national breed could be so popular abroad. I feel proud of wolfdogs:) I don?t have many experiences with them, but I think they are some way similar to basenjis - free and independent and inteligent… Yes that's tight, they only want to work for their owners hahahaha (I always explain people "its like a Basenji x german shepard mix but a bit different hahaha) Here is a very nice link of a friend of us who breeds Wolfdogs: http://www.vantaelsesluske.nl/index.php At the left, you can click on "onze honden" to see some nice pics
