Hey all,
Thanks for the great tips..!!
Jackson is walking better already, thanks to this very embarrassing 180 trick. But it seems to do the job!
Now if only we could tone the excitement down!
Thanks again,
Matt

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to thank you for some of these great threads..it's been so fun to read!

We have a two-year old named Jackson and he is loved by everyone. His behavior is also improving now that he is no longer a puppy.

Heeling, though, has always been tough. I was just wondering if anyone's in the same boat here? Or if you might have some advice for the rest of us?

FYI, he's easily excited outside, i.e. dragging us to get to another dog or a squirrel; stopping at every tree and pole; generally walking us!

We've watched dog whisperer and all that..but basenjis don't respond well to punishment. I'm sure he'll walk better with age, but how can we speed this process up?

THANKS!
