Some Pics of Beeji, my B mix

Show Off Your Dog
  • Here are some photos of Beeji, my Basenji/Terrier mix. He was a stray and I am afraid he was abused as he shies easily and startles over sudden sounds. He also cringes when you are holding something in your hand that is long and narrow, such as a remote control, etc.

    I seem to have done an attachment, I need to go back and reread how to post a photo..

  • He is beautiful! The pictures always show up as attachments and then the administrator works magic and poof they appear! Keep those pictures coming!

  • He is quite the handsome fellow!:)

  • What a cute little guy…it sounds like someone has terrified him quite a bit. It makes me so angry :mad: that people can mistreat little animals.

    Have you tried to condition positive things from the startling sounds & objects?? Topaz had the same issues with sounds. I worked with her so that every time she jumped or got startled I would ask her to sit & give her a treat. Now when she hears something she just sits :)

  • Beeji is such a cutie patootie! He's lucky to have found you and made you his "pack". :)

    Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback.

    I am working on the startle and fear responses. I like your idea of sit and treat since Beeji is definitely motivated by his passion for treats!

    When he gets scared by something such as the tv remote, I have him come to me talking to him in soft wooing tones and then show him the object and let him sniff it. Now I will add the sit and get a treat too.

    He is getting better and certainly loves living here. he has decided my Mom's double bed is much more comfortable than my single and sneaks off to stretch out on it whenever he can. :)

    Mom pretends to be upset but secretly I think she is tickled to death. She is totally ready to spoil him. He loves getting under her rollator walker. I think he like the cave feel of it. He takes his favorite bones and treats under there.

    I will be posting more photos as I take more since I want more photos, and he is so funny sometimes plus, I want him to learn that the camera is not a scary thing. In our family there are always lots of cameras out so we have to help him learn to at least tolerate them.

    Thanks everyone for all your help.

    @Kipawa: I love the licking/kiss picture. You can tell your basenji's almost think of Ryan as "their property". Great coursing photos - once your b's catch the lure, what is the look on their face? Is it like "darn it, I thought I was chasing a rabbit", or is just having the lure good enough for them. Sending you some nice hot tea and unpollinated fresh air. Hope you are feeling better soon. The only thing they think is: GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT :D

    @Rita: Those pictures are great love them. What is that old saying what's mine is mine and what's your's is mine. Your pictures always look like a person could just reach in and touch them almost like being there. Hailey is just so pretty. Rita Jean Thanks :) Hailey sure thinks the same way :D @thunderbird8588: :D:D:D I just love your photo stories, you should make a book. Love the pic of Chafuko looking like he's going to bite Haileys nose, he reminds me of a Dinosaur :D :D Chafuko really is a very playful B, and always has to be in the middle of attention :)

    You may want to try frequently rewarding him for staying still before he gets a chance to complain. You can then start building up time between treats once he gets the idea that standing still will get him a reward.
