Training him or me?

Basenji Talk
  • So, I had a good training session with devil dog last night! trying to teach him to sit while we eat so he doesn't snatch food off our plates…. I had him sit on a blanket while I ate dinner. He?d get up and I?d make him sit back down on it. kept it up for about ? hour. He did pretty good. i'd give him a treat when he'd sit back down or stay for a while. He?d go back on command ?.not make me put him there.

    He proceeded to pee on the blanket an hour later??not sure if that was a pointed message but I?m thinking it was. Basenji?s are interesting creatures.

  • LOL, 22 yrs ago they had these things you put over your toilet to teach a cat to use the toilet. So I got one, locked the cats in the bathroom for several days til they got it. Opened the door, the Maine Coon walked out past me, jumped on my bed and POOPED IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

    Yeah, message for sure.

  • If you use a squirt bottle, you will only have to spray the b a few times before they get the message…at least, that works in my house.

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    Well.. tonight we had a 30 min. training to practice the weave poles. Tillo did ok. He was more excited than normal when we got out of the car and he had a big ridge when we walked to the field, but we were there 30 min before we started, so he was all calmed down at the beginning of the training :) I asked the trainer what he is going to do with Tillo and the Shar pei and he isn't sure yet.. :confused: This wednesday he will have a look and discuss it with the other trainers. He said that there is always a possibility that Tillo will be in a group with a male he doesn't like… so he doesn't think it's necessary to change the group. I told him I will quit and look for another training if he doesn't change something.. We'll see.. we'll see...

    Cody is doing very well. I hope that you both will be happy in your new home and that you find another equally good trainer.

    That is great! I am hoping to get Tupper to go biking with me once all the snow and salt is gone.
