I know this practice very well. My basenjis don't do it, my Lemon Beagle used to do it! I wasnt aware of the reason back then but OMG carrying him home was like juggling a 45 pound bag of doorknobs.❤ I miss that guy.

Neither of my basenjis do it but I have plenty of experience with the growls and bites when she is moved...lol. A very cranky 10 year old gal.

@ktiefen1 You would be correct!!

Potty Training eventually came easy because ours is so treat motivated....lol.

Basic obedience is a challenge for us......ahe is definitely her own girl....and please dont disturb her sleep. You could lose a limb. ::)))))

@rugosa You nailed it!!! The cutest, super intelligent and emphasis on ornery!!!

Love Love Love our girl....

@eeeefarm .....hi and thanks for your input!!! This is not an every day occurence, thank goodness☺

Instead of letting this make me crazy...lol....i have to chalk it up to laziness or spite....and keeping lots of washable throw rugs on hand!

I started using training treats this morning when she did her business outside...we shall see💜💛💚

@margiem ...hi!! The problem is even if she does go outside (or not) she will still go into her corner of the living room and do her business...#1 and #2.....and nothing intimidates her...as we all know.

Rugs all removed. Hardwoods done....but grrrrr. She is 6 and hitting an incredible stubborn streak...lol.

She and my 12 year old beagle are an item. Love her to peices but getting her NOT to do her business in the house seems impossible☺☺☺

Pic to follow. Thanks everyone!

I understand that the going out in the rain thing is pretty universal. The fuss she makes has stopped being funny😠 She will go right back inside and do it all right on her spot in the living room...😈
