Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg

Good morning everyone! I'm going to be getting a rescue Basenji soon hopefully (put in the adoption application yesterday, just waiting on the right dog to come along). Just wanted to join here and say hello, as I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions.

Welcome to the forum and good luck on finding your new baby.

Yea, we're going through BRAT.
And all the horror stories I hear about Basenjis being destructive when left to their own devices, I have to admit makes me a little nervous, hehe.

Understandable. There is a cute thread on here about Basenji rules. It would be a good read for you. Are you partial to a color ?

I'm a big fan of the tricolor, but they're all beautiful so the color isn't really an issue for me.
