I am from Georgia and recently broke up with my boyfriend and decided to move into a apartment of my own. I found out quickly that apartment life as a single woman can be lonely and so went searching for a little puppy companion. I did find a basenji but it wasn't really a puppy, it was about four or five years old. I found a Basenji in my local area from a guy who had just broke up with his girlfriend and was kicking her out and planning to move into an house and wanted to put the basenji down, so I offered to take it. I found out their just cute as a button but I dont know how to train him. It seems like the original owner didnt do a real good job of training him. He seems to be somewhat destructive and can be violent. I invited a friend over recently and upon trying to take food out of his mouth that he'd taken from the garbage can, he snapped at her and bit her hand. The injury wasn't bad but he just sat their growling at her and it was kind of scary. Does anyone know where I even start?
