I got my Basenji neutered hoping it would make him less active and less reactive towards other dogs but after 3 months I’ve haven’t seen any changes. I still have to walk Kylo 4 times per day, and now I’m working with a trainer on the behavioral aggressiveness. I had a Boxer prior to my Basenji and on that breed it made him more calm and less reactive towards other dogs, but not lazy, just a little fat.
With Kylo I took a week off from work to take care of him.

Kylo does the same, he likes to lay in the patio and absorb every bit of heat

They gave me pain meds and anxiety meds. He is under the influence of the anesthesia, going to follow your advice, I took a week off to care for him.

Kylo is 7 months, he is coming home in a couple of hours, besides the after care package from the vet any tips for caring for my dog after surgery?

@corey_hebb said in New puppy?:

My questions are,
do you think I will be able to handle a basenji puppy on my own for that period of time? Or should a wait for my girlfriend to move in?

You can do it on your own.

would you be able to get a basenji to pee on an outdoor fake grass patch?

Yes, but you have to be consistent

tips for taking care of a basenji in Canada? (All I could really find was to our a jacket on them)

sweaters and boots. Try to find a mall or indoor walking facility, Basenjis need lots of exercise.

does anybody take their basenji camping? I know they can't be trusted off lead with their recall.

I don’t trust my Basenji off leash yet, but he has been camping and does very well. Get a long leash so your puppy can explore under supervision.

Hello I’m in MA, I have a Basenji almost 6 months old. Do you know of any good trainer? Or Basenji play groups? Is hard to socialize them during COVID...
