    that does seem excessive, Id take her on a leash walk a few times a day, not long walks, shes had surgery. if she is wearing a cone to prevent her from licking her stitches out, shell need a walk or two, If your giving her pain meds, ( shich I did for mine) shes be kind loopy ) The stiches will bother her, Basenjis like to chew, and groom, I had to isolate mine because of the licking each other, and concern.. It will be fine, some vets are just over protective,
  • Any advice to get started on the right foot?

    Awesome.. Antlers are great, work hard on crate training because it's super important…I had an awful awful time with separation anxiety and it was horrendous to get through crate training but we have made great progress.

    @Vegas: I don't think electric collars are cruel. I've worn one. I've shocked the crap out of myself. I've even taken some jolts with a cattle prod. There is only the "shock", no after pain. That being said, I would never use an electric fence for a basenji. Their prey drive is much stronger than their fear of being shocked. Negative punishment does not work very often with basenjis. It's about brains, not brawn when it comes to training them. Vegas Well I disagree with your comment about not being cruel… to a point... but I agree that negative punishment is not the best way to train a Basenji.... In regards to a regular electric fence, not the IF type, they do come in useful especially for fence climbers... or diggers for that matter.... and I know in one case the neighbors young male dog kept "eating" through the wooden fence to get to the Basenjis on the other side, especially when the bitch was in season... and electric fence (hot wire)... was a god sent

    @Gooby: There's also this one: When your humans take you out, poop twice. Rest assured, they only brought one bag. Oh how true …
