Problems after death of of them….

Basenji Talk
  • Hello,
    I've got big problem: I have 2 basnejis (10 years old dogs - brothers) which after sudden death of third one (found dog-girl), they scream hours and hours when they are home alone… I have never this kind a problems - I care a lot's of found dogs, cats...they stay home for 6-8hours without problems...

    Now I take them everywhere - work, shopping, go outs... But I have to think about my poor neighbours...
    What I have to do??? I don't know what to do...
    Any suggestions are very welcome.

    I agree with telling them you are leaving. Sneaking out can result in panicked looking for you, which is not a good thing.

    If you have an adult dog in the household, it will save you a lot of grief. The adults will usually put manners on the pup. I have yet to hear an adult "yelp", but sure have seen them snarl and pin the little so-and-so down momentarily, and when released the pup is usually a bit chastened and leaves the adult alone for awhile. Some need more convincing than others! Lady used to snarl in Tamu's face while holding her down, and watching her is what started me using the "bear hug" (minus the snarling) to correct this behaviour.

    I got my dehydrator at a farm & fleet store for about $50. It is basic but has temperature. I make a lot of jerky now. It is really easy. Beef jerky from ground beef is my favorite. I can make sticks of it which can be broken or cut up easily into training treat sized pieces. I highly recommend getting one. Plus you can use it too.

    @tanza: Things like biting behaviors.. just wanted to make a point that meds are for specific behaviors.. not a cure all Oh, I agree completely! They are definitely NOT a cure-all. IMO, drugs used for unwwanted behavior should only be used as part of a behavior modification program, especially when dealing with SA.

    Sometimes picking them up in a "there is no other choice" manner is less coddling than stringing them along with treats. Don't get me wrong, you know I love to use treats for training. But sometimes when you spend a whole lot of time and effort trying to coax the dog to cooperate, they are getting some reward out of that. A lot more reward than they would get if you just picked them up, and made them cooperate….(kinda like toddlers!) But does sound like there might be more going on. I hope you find some answers. The reluctance to go out at 6 am (gads!) might get better as the weather warms up :)
