Thanks @eeeefarm, the half of the battle was in my head fighting why is he doing that.

I have been told to hold his muzzle down if he attempts to bite.

I think it's time to take hold of the reigns properly and stop thinking I am being mean!

Thanks everyone for your advice.

I know my basenji understands and he does listen to me but he has selective hearing. We are traning on it and he is getting better each day.

Okay so my pup is 9 months now and I thought we had the chewing business nipped in the bud but it turns out, yesterday he started to chew on the end of the skirting board. Please can someone advise how I can say and make him understand "don't do that" or that "it is wrong to do".

Hi Everyone,

Yes it's me again asking for advice.

I was wondering how to stimulate my little basenji's mind. He eats and sleeps and he doesn't have any interest in toys at all whatsoever, just likes his antler which he chews on.

I got him a cube buster and jigsaw toy and he does play with that during food time but after that he just looks bored to me. He yawns and then just wants to sleep. I take him for walks and let him sniff around and when we get back he just wants to laze around and doesn't want to do anything. I try and play with him in the garden and try to make it engaging but he doesn't want to know and stands there staring or walks away and sits down chilling looking at the sky.

He always looks bored to me but he doesn't have any interest to do anything at all.

Any ideas what I could do or anything you guys can recommend?

Oh and he loves the game chase but we've stopped playing because everytime we try and go and fetch him (when he is in his stubborn mood) he starts running away and thinks its a game.

Any recommendations welcomed and thanks in advance.
