Hungry Dog

Basenji Training
  • The cats that I used to have at one point lived on a covered table because the Basnejis would chase them. My rw, Ringo would just pull the cover and everything including the food would go on the floor for eating. After he ate their food he would chew up their furry mouse cat toy.

  • My cody is also a very tall boy. He never jumps on the countertops or the table but with is long legs he can reach very far. Not much stands in his way. He once knocked off a bottle of liquor that I had though was far enough back on to the ceramic tile of my kitchen floor. When I got home he was very tipsy. Luckly no injury from the broken glass.He has also knocked over an entire bag of flour while I was baking. It looked like it snowed in my house.

  • Yes! Topper also does the 1-armed stretch, raking anything on the counter off onto the floor. He will get into my shelves and cupboards as well, once got a 5-lb bag of powdered sugar and what a fine mess that was! I keep bungee cords on all my lower cabinets!

  • MacPack, I am so glad that was in your house and not mine..

  • One time Ringo stole a bag of ground coffee off my dresser, ripped it open and spread it all over the queen size bed rolling around in it. There was coffee all over the bed and him. He loved anything with a strong smell. When I went in the room to see what all the wrestling around was he just looked up at me with a "what"? on his face. He made me laugh despite the mess!

  • Man, they are so funny..and mischievious..

  • I like the coffee mess sounds like there was a lot of fun going on.

    Basenjimamma, Jaycee has those really long legs nothing and I mean nothing can in middle to edge of counters anymore we have sort of learned. At least we have learned until the next mess. I have never had any dog get up and look in my washer or dyer and steal as I am loading or unloading. I really use to love my front load put top load may be better now that we have Jaycee.

    Dishwasher a favorite for every B I've ever had. One time I had a guest here and he had taken a shower earlier using a towel he brought. Ringo pulled his damp towel off the rack, hauled it in the living room and right in front of the guy proceeded to roll around on it until it was a twisted mess. I was embarrassed to say the least. He didn't care. :D

    Oakley will pee in the middle of the road or anywhere really but pooping is a whole different story…walking is the only way and he seems to do it in the same spots on our walks.. If the wind so much as sways it will deter him... In the cold he just flat out refuses to go! It is a basenji thing

    Google Gazehounds in TX. They do straight and oval racing in the Mckinney, TX area. We come down occasionally for their NOTRA meets. They are having an oval race this weekend if you would like to atttend and watch I can send you directions. We will not be there this time as I'm having surgery Monday and need to take a couple weeks off. Where in TX is Pearland? We do lure coursing in Hutto, Waller and Cat Springs, but the season is at and end now. Will pick up again at the end of Sept which would be a good time for your girl to try some practice runs. There are lots of nice non basenji people in the clubs who will help you train her. Get a good recall on her now, puppy training classes would help for that.
