    A good "safety" exercise to practice is a command that tells your dog treats are in the offing, and use it at irregular intervals when you are walking. Combine the command with a total release of pressure on the leash, preferably when your dog has firm tension on said leash. Then if something unexpected happens you have a built in reaction of the dog to look to you for a reward. This won't work if your dog is pursuing a major distraction, but should give you an edge if you have an equipment failure in otherwise neutral conditions. (you can carry this one step further by "accidentally" dropping the leash in a controlled area, or with a light line attached for safety, and practice until the dog turns to you when it feels a total release)

    Vanessa, Where in Canada are you? Did you get your dog from a local breeder? If you did, call your breeder, often they can network other basenji owners and help you organize a search. It is very helpful if people out looking have another basenji or dog with them. Also get photos together quickly to make flyers and get them out with your contact information. Is your dog microchipped? Get your microchip number, dogs name, your contact info to all vets in your area as well as shelters. Your best bet is to contact the breeder and get as much help as you can. God speed in finding your dog! Therese

    These sorts of things happen so quickly, and unfortunatley there is no "Undo" button. I think it is easy to get complacent in our lives. We get use to routine and every once in a while things just happen. So sad.

    I heard back from the finder this morning. She says his face looks like Basenji, but his tail is long and straight, not curled. So she thinks he might be a mix. Anyway, she is going to take him in to the vet to check for a microchip, and will hold on to him for the rest of the week. If he isn't claimed, she says she will contact BRAT. Terry
