First time Basenji Training

Basenji Training
  • Kingsley1230K

    Hello all,
    I am new to this forum and new to basenjis. Just wondering if there was a book or a website that would help me train my pup. I get her on Saturday, I adoped her from an Arkansas Human Society, she is a Basenji/Shepherd mix her name is Lilu.

    Just wanted to freshen up on training and see if there is anything really different that i would need to learn on training basenjis.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    We will love them no matter what ![](images/smilies/wink.png "Wink") http://www.youtube.com/user/Kingsley1230 Lilu's page

    I saw a thread in Books (I think) called Basenji Owner's Manual that some of the members are saying is pretty good. Keep in mind that Lilu is part Shepherd too. She may end up with some behavioral traits of that breed as well.

    Surf the puppy sections too…lots of great information there.:)

    Yup, nothing fun happens until everybody's peed. Today she saw the old man go out on HER walk hour and was DISPLEASED. I agreed with her that it sure would be fun to go for a romp! I'm glad we're not the only dweebs who sing to our dogs. We've taken to improvising a life soundtrack to the tune of "Springtime for Hitler" that usually starts "____-time for Basenjis, ______". The past couple days it's been "Pottytime for basenjis, come on, go pee!" :D

    Great they are finally being recognized. I watched a show a few months back where they were training Basenjis at airports to sniff out drugs and other contraband in baggage compartments. The B's do well because they are small, can step over all the piles of baggage and of course, have such great noses it comes easy to them to be trained for this work!

    Glad to hear she did well. She must have heard what you said and wanted to prove you wrong. They are such stinkers!
