New Member, have question about yard

Basenji Talk
  • I know this may sound silly but I recently fenced in my backyard. It is about 67 feet deep and 110 feet wide. It is a nice big space and has just the usual back yard stuff, small patio, a small storage house, some plants, trees etc.

    Is there anything special I can add to the yard to make it more fun for my B mix? Right now he loves zooming around and that is great but do Basenjis need more? and if so what.

    I hope this makes sense it is very late (or early, depending on how you look at it)

    anyway,
    thanks!!

  • I like to add some stone paths in the yard for them to walk around on those "wet" days. They seem to not mind a wet stone as much as wet grass.

    They love sand…....a sand box of some type.

  • squirrel feeder

    some kind of perch next to your house so that they can look over the fence, and have a "high" place to sun worship

    And I think that clicker training is the BEST way to train a Basenji. -Joanne

    @saralars: This is off the subject of crate escape… I was told growing up that turkey and chicken bones were very dangerous for dogs. Are Basenjis different in this way too? Or am I missing something... Raw, uncooked bones are fine for any dog, not just Basenjis… it is "cooked" bones that are the problems

    And don't be fooled when someone says "oh he's a little angel". EL D came to me with a reputation as being very destructive but never did any damage once I got him home and my current Luny had a reputation for being very nice in the house and turns out he has a severe anxiety problem and will destroy anything by the door if I leave with him loose. So be sure to watch the pup/dog for awhile to see how s/he acts on its own and with other dogs and also pay attention to how a dog reacts to you, a stranger.

    On tv this morning they showed some dogs that were to be adopted at Petsmart from the Humane Society. One of them they said was a basenji/terrier mix. That dog was huge and he didn't look anything like a basenji to me. No batwing ears but the tail was curled.
