Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.
My name is Melissa and I am a basenji-holic

Hello All
My name is Melissa Benda and I am a slave to all things basenji. I have three beautiful B's, Snickers who is my oldest, Lucy LooLoo my newest adoption from BRAT, and Lee-Lee, the baby, my first ever adoption from BRAT. (I failed fostering 101 with Lee-Lee )I am a very active volunteer for Basenji Rescue And Transport, and am the newly appointed District Coordinator for Texas.
I love my life, my Basenji's, my husband, and will do anything for the greatness and goodness of animal welfare.
Please say hello, and if you ever need anything, contact me on here, or better: benda4brat@yahoo.com!
Ive posted pics in the"Show Off Your Dog" forum, so please go see my babies!
Love, Melissa Benda

Hi Melissa - welcome to a forum where pretty well everyone else is basenji-brained. And thanks for the work you do for these dogs. In my mind, that makes you an angel.

Welcome, all your girls are lovely. I call my Nicky (BRAT) "Snickers" most of the time, she's a tri too!
