Hello everyone!
this is my first thread on this forum and like to say hello…I will be in august owner of a red&white basenji..at this stage the puppy is still one month so I have to wait at least 3to 4 weeks before picking it up...so meanwhile I've been doing my homework to understand more and more about this breed since I've been living with miniature pinchers forever and since last october lost for ageing my last female at age 16... so now its time to turn page for a new chapter called Basenjii...
I live in South Italy close to the seaside and this where I'am writing from... in Italy basenji owners are not many...it seems to be a dog that is not very popular so to have a answer in the local forum for a question as "clicker training" has not produced much effect and seems that no one has used this method consistantly enough to have background results data for Basenji...maybe training with the clicker is so distant from uman relationship way to deal that is ignored or hard to apply from Basenji owners..(!?!)...even doing a research on this forum no topic came out for help.....
The question is this...has and does anyone apply the "clicker training" since ever had their dog and with what results...what actually can you get the basenji do with this system? or do Basenji learn better as any dog dose with the "...shouting & ignoring & treat method"..?
Please if anyone can spare some advice... even if I do know that every Basenji will be one of a kind ...sofeel free to come on board I will be gratefull to learn more on Clicker training appllied to Basenji...
ciao and thanks...
Edward
ps.... hope my english writing is ok....
