Tillo fighting during agility training

Basenji Talk
  • Oh no, poor Tillo. What was your trainer thinking of if the SP had already been a problem.

    I hope Tillo recovers physically and mentally. Has he had an antibiotic jab? Dog bites can harbour nasty germs.

  • Janneke, I just saw this
    I am so sorry Tillo had to experience that "not so nice dog's teeth up close"…I am glad he is feeling better..yes, you can do it, go for the July 10th competition and tell us all about how great he did..:D:D

  • I was away so didn't see this…

    Janneke, I'm so sorry that happened to Tillo. You do such a great job with him and it sounds like he is recovering from the wounds and fear nicely - thanks to you! Fingers crossed things continue to go well so you can try him at your upcoming agility!

  • Well.. tonight we had a 30 min. training to practice the weave poles. Tillo did ok. He was more excited than normal when we got out of the car and he had a big ridge when we walked to the field, but we were there 30 min before we started, so he was all calmed down at the beginning of the training :)

    I asked the trainer what he is going to do with Tillo and the Shar pei and he isn't sure yet.. :confused: This wednesday he will have a look and discuss it with the other trainers. He said that there is always a possibility that Tillo will be in a group with a male he doesn't like… so he doesn't think it's necessary to change the group. I told him I will quit and look for another training if he doesn't change something.. We'll see.. we'll see...

    @donc said in Agility training: Dogs also have different inclinations. That is probably going in my top ten of understatements for 2018. :) I had a Rottweiler from a long line of herding titles, all the siblings. His only goat at sheep herding was to mark my leg. Even handler friends tried... nope. Wasn't wasting his energy on stupid sheep. Dining room tables are their natural habitat!

    That is great! I am hoping to get Tupper to go biking with me once all the snow and salt is gone.

    Yeah. I think I have done everything to Basenji proof the house, but he always seems to come up with something I never thought of. I guess that's how you learn. Luckily he wasn't hurt… well maybe just his ego.

    The absolute worst thing about this time change (aside from the lessened amount of daylight walk time), is that Stormie and Nikki were so used to their dinner being served at 6:30 PM. Now they start pesting me at 5:00 PM for dinner and they put on those, "PLEASE MOM! We're STARVING and wasting away to practically NOTHING" eyes! Ha! Little rugrats is putting it nicely! :D ;)

    Basenjis have desires, we have desires to get to work on time. You can feed your b twice a day and do a poop right after they eat. That will help. When it is raining or cold I just throw on my slicker and accept that I will be getting as wet as my B. You may want to try Muttlucks which are great waterproof shoes made for dogs in the water or snow.
