I can attest that MY basenji is very different from a basenji at a show….. Not at all capable of being responsible enough to
be around that commotion....also, basenjis (to me) seem especially in tune to other dogs not keen on them...neutral ground and slowly are probably a good idea
Litter box training advice

I recently got my basenji an indoor dog potty from www.ugodog.net. She is 7 years old & has fanconi, so she pees a lot now & I imagine it could even increase in the future. Also, she hates snow & rain (big surprise there), so with winter coming up I wanted to work on an indoor option for her. She does have a doggie door, but when I am not home I believe she rarely goes any farther out than the deck.
I am wondering if anyone here can offer any tips on how to get Cleo to use the indoor potty. I expect it to be a bit of a challenge considering she has been effectively house trained for almost seven years. I have tried collecting a specimen & putting it in there & she will smell it but when I tell her to "go potty" she looks at me like I'm crazy & then starts running for the back door. Any advice that anyone can offer would be appreciated!!

Nature's Miracle makes grass scented pee pads don't know if it will help. I know they do help puppies to get the idea that they should go on grass so maybe they would work in reverse.

that sounds like it would be worth a try, I will look into those. Thanks!

And you might want to try putting it outside and try getting her to go on it there and then try moving in inside….
