    She is not too old to train, but even saying that, she is a basenji, and no matter the age, a bored basenji will find things to entertain herself, often things we would prefer she not touch. A companion helps, but even so, given temptation a basenji will usually go for it. Think "baby-proof" your house with a baby who can climb, leap, dig and chew. As said above by others, toys which present a challenge will also help.

    I am lucky with my guy. Although he has attempted digging a few times and been told "no", he doesn't take advantage of my absence to pursue the habit. One exception was when I assume he was cold, and he dug his way under the comforter on the bed, managing to do some damage to the foamy we have on the bed to make it softer. (never assume the bed that felt soft enough in the showroom will be so when you get it home! :) ) He has free run of the house and seldom abuses the privilege. Obviously if the damage occurs when you are gone the only solution is to restrict his access to the things he is likely to harm. Or suffer the consequences. ;)

    No wonder Ayo looks so happy - all that basenji loving sunshine. He's a splendid looking little fellow!

    That's awesome. I was also wondering how you were going to train all three at once. They are so adorable. I like the markings on the other red boy… looks like a "J" on the back of his neck. And the huge puppy ears on all of them! And the... ok, I have to quit watching or I will have myself talked into a puppy next season.
