I agree with Patty. A vet check on abnormal behavior is always best. I had a Basenji who never touched anything in the house at 14 yrs old chew up a chair cushion. A vet checked confirmed a bad UTI. He actually pee'd blood waiting in the vet. My fault for not taking him in right away when I suspected something.

Dogs learn quickly, especially if their former home was not so nice. Then a new name is perfect. We changed Nicky's name from Nyako, picked a "sound alike" and she learned it pretty quickly, well, as much as some basenjis ever "learn" their name. Some days she doesn't recognize it at all, haha.

Eddie was Skippy, I looked at him and called him Fast Eddie and it stuck. That boy knows his name all the time!

And do tell, what is the awful name???

Sorry, I ahdn't read that properly, I see it was the Daycare who suggested about the marking.
