  • @Kosuzu:

    Do you get the impression that Basenji's are training us rather than the other way around!?

    All the time!

  • Must say Kaiser is only 11 months old and his owners are well trained in the "leave it then lose it" and "find it then it's mine" tricks, have nearly been in the same position once or twice myself with the bathroom trick, I'm a bit of a slow learner with that trick. Laughs a bundle is a Basenji.

  • Mine steal the TP out of my hand and eat it!!!!! Crazy Bs!!!!

    Basnji's really are like ninjas, silent and deadly….lol

  • Mine has learned not to waste time trying to play with me in the bathroom. I go in, start doing what I need to do, and this little face leans in past the door jam… just enough for the one observant eye to see I am probably indisposed...
    Then all hell breaks loose... How much damage can one (previously sleeping) basenji can get into in just five minutes? Of course my yelling commands with the echoing bathroom walls (ala Wizard of Oz style) does NOTHING!
    Plus the flush is the the alarm bell. She knows to hide as soon as she hears it.
    I walk out of the bathroom with shredded kleenix, phone cords, blankets everywhere, smudged glasses, etc. I keep the door open as a possible deterrent... not that it helps much.

    Hahaha, I know exactly how you feel. Great story.

  • Kosuzu: but god forbid the wind should blow while they're trying to go! Funny little dogs they are!

    Even though this is a video of a cat, has your Basenji ever done this, mine has!

  • That's cute! Cricket does not subscribe to the slow stealthy approach. It's all about as much destruction as possible in the shortest amount of time while I'm indisposed. Everything is done in fast forward!

    Kalani waits until my back is turned and the second it is he gets into mischief. As soon as I look at him he freezes with the thought of either "if I don't move he can't see me" or "what, I wasn't doing anything". I'm not sure which, but it is one of them.

    Just keep doing what you have been doing… a 15 year old basenji is a testament to the care their owner is giving them. But yes, extra treats and kisses are a must!

    I love it! That's cute! I will have to post the pic of Congo. He ate all his food in his bowl one day and I left the bag of food out and he thought he could just help himself so I got a great pic of his head in the dog food bag. So funny!

    @tanza: I am glad that you went to Midge…. I am too actually. I have been so incredibly pleased with Dallas. He is such a great basenji :) Plus I know Midge is there if I have any problems, I was a bit worried in that respect about Dee since it seems she breeds a lot & does it as more of a business.

    @ChaseandZahrasmom: Let's all just be thankful that B's are small dogs and not 110 Lbs beast! At least we can pick them up and tuck them under an arm and walk away with them while training! LOL! I have to do the same thing with Zahra sometimes. Amen! I was just thinking this earlier today while trying to control my pup…
