When you are dealing with something that an animal is afraid of, the best approach is to find his "comfort" distance from the thing that scares him. A busy street makes this a bit more difficult, as you have to find a way to give him that "distance". If you have a car, maybe transporting him to a less busy area might make a good start. Perhaps a side street, where he is comfortably away from busy traffic. You could then walk toward the busy street, pausing as soon as you see some sign of anxiety, and retracing your steps just little until he is in his "comfort zone" again. Gradually…...with the use of bribery and rewards......ask him to approach closer to the scary stuff. Liberally reward him for being there, then retreat. The idea is to not force, let him decide when he is ready. If he feels he can retreat at any time, he will have more confidence. This approach may take awhile, but is less likely to create a permanent aversion. (it works well with spooky horses).
Selling Used Cars In Russia

I knew it. They will stoop to anything for treats.

oh my, is that a current ad?
-
LOL dog is cut but chick looks like a guy in drag.

Interesting ad. I don't think they'd use basenjis to sell cars here. Does anybody remember the US tv ad featuring a basenji several years ago? I can't remember what it was for. wendy's maybe???
-
What a cool ad..I want to know too, is it current?
-
I don't think it is a current. Looks like 60s or 70s to me :).
-
There was a basenji in a Ford ad just last year…..
-
It looks like an old ad from the car, the hairstyle and the Basenji. I think a Basenji could sell anything! To me any way!

There was a black & white basenji in an ad for those swim-current pools a couple of years ago, he was running along the side of it. Just a glimpse.

This is one that I remember…the Basenji looks like 'please don't put me in that pool'

Tried to find the commercial but found the post instead:

Smile Ford Commercial
Has anyone noticed that the woman who drives the red Ford on the Swap My Ride commercial is shown with a tri-color basenji on a leash at the end of the commercial?! The B is facing away from the camera and is on the ground by the car. You can see the curly tail and pointy ears!! -

I posted about that one on the forums in this area, I think. Someone else posted a link to the video.
Pretty sure I titled it "Is that a B I see?"
