She is not too old to train, but even saying that, she is a basenji, and no matter the age, a bored basenji will find things to entertain herself, often things we would prefer she not touch. A companion helps, but even so, given temptation a basenji will usually go for it. Think "baby-proof" your house with a baby who can climb, leap, dig and chew. As said above by others, toys which present a challenge will also help.
Trio training

A few days ago I decided I may as well take the plunge and start working with the puppies. The results weren't exactly as I had expected.
-
Funny…:D I wondered how you were going to train 3 at once...wasn't expecting the treats to go everywhere..ha ha ha! They sit nice for you though.

The video won't play for me, keeps on freezing up..I am bummed..

I love it!
The little tri is like "I know exactly what to do" So cute!-Nicole
-
what a great start - that try-ing looks like he/she has potential to be a really nice working dog!
-
The tri is my keeper pup. I call him Rainie. The two red boys are still looking for homes though.
-
How cute! They are so good!
-
Very cute! Smart pups!! Love the part where Rainie goes for a pee
Such a good boy!! -

I predict you're going to keep Spot, too, although you will fight it for another few months.

That's awesome. I was also wondering how you were going to train all three at once. They are so adorable. I like the markings on the other red boy… looks like a "J" on the back of his neck. And the huge puppy ears on all of them! And the... ok, I have to quit watching or I will have myself talked into a puppy next season.
