@eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...
Malaika does it again !

Yesterday Malaika passed her KC Silver good citizenship.
She has done two assessments this week due to not being able to do her Bronze in Sept due to being in season.
We are so very proud of her and she is only a year old.
The Silver actualy took 2 1/2 hours as there were 5 other Dogs and the building was very cold. We were a little worried about her 2 min sit stay as we all know Basenjis don't do cold. However there was no problem.
When she did her return to handler and come away from distractions she was so good that the assessor said if she could she would have awarded extra points
She has had lots of lovely treats as she deserves.
Howard my hubby did the handling. -
Very nice, congratulations…
