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
Hi! Nice to meet all of you!

Hello!
I have always been a fan of the Basenji, though I have never owned one (I realized that my life and dog training/rearing experience were no match for a Basenji, which wouldn't be fair to the dog). My current dog may* be a Basenji mix, but who really knows! Either way, I am happy to be here, and hope to learn more about the Basenji.
