Winter break is over!

Basenji Training
  • Tonight we had our first agility training after a looong winter break. After three months of doing only obedience, I thought Tillo would have forgotten how it works…. I couldn't have been more wrong.. I have got such a great dog!! :D:D From minute one he was concentrated. The trainer was also very excited, after every run he was shouting "You go girl! You've got such an awesome dog!!" So I have been walking around with a big smile on my face this entire evening.. I just had to share it! :D:D:D ;)

    We are now curled up on the couch together. I just love my boy :D

    Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.

    Nice place you live in Nina! Carty I envy you wearing lots of sweaters and coats and pretty scarfs to keep warm. In Zoeys world today she had a blast! After waking up and eating she decided that while I worked she would get into the bathroom where my son left the cabinet open on his way out the door to school. Oh yeah….you guessed it! Toilet paper all over the living room and a pink and blue sponge added in for color! Ahhh a day in the life of a puppy...I hope we all make it through this stage. It has been raining buckets here today so I am thankful for the puppy pads. On a brighter note...she learned the command down or as my son says..."get low". I know she is a bad girl wanting to be good...lol

    Thanks for all your advise so far. Here's the update… patience and persistence seems to be paying off. We confined him to whatever room we were in so we ALWAYS caught him. After just 3 weeks of this he started running to the door! I completely thought he'd never get it. He didn't seem to be connecting "outside" with "potty time". But its been nearly a month now and he is about as house broken as our other 11 mo old. We still have accidents, especially when its wet out, but all your advice seems to be paying off. Thanks.
