UGH! Bad ending to a bad day!

Basenji Talk
  • The problem becomes if you are a meek or hyper person in general, that the dog sees through you and it is very hard to pretend to be something you are not 24/7.

    This where you can learn from your dog / training and take some of the good for yourself. Being a strong leader, fearless, calm & in control. Who could not use some of these qualities?

    Basenjis are best! It is impossible for my husband and I to be around Kipawa and not smile or laugh. :) How wonderful that yours can lift your spirits as well!

    Mr BaRoo i am very sorry to hear of the loss of Sami. Perhaps you could do him a tribute thread when you feel up to it. Run free Sami

    You should call animal control and report a dangerous dog running loose. No one should have to deal with that type of danger when walking their dog.

    When Cairo was coming into his manhood which was around the later part of his 4th month he began to try to dominate every dog (male or female) at the dog part. We were in the smaller dog pen, so there were plenty of smaller dogs for him to dominate. I recognized the behavior (not full mounted, but the arm on the back) and we didnt go back until he was fixed. Major difference. I would suggest going to a Petsmart and doing your normal commands there. It is so busy and loud there that you can practice getting his attention. Having an intact dog at the dog park is a big challenge. You dont want to take treats into a dog park in case some one else's dog is food aggressive and you have to feel confident you can pull his attention away from his interest when you want. I would think any kind of training that included socializing with other dogs would be a big help.
