It's been my experience that sometimes my basenji just gets it in her head that she doesn't like another dog, and for seemingly no good reason. I have been able to mitigate her behavior, but this is not a cure….
First, an excited basenji is a biting basenji. Make sure he's calm. Make him sit. Exert your dominance. Stand over your dog, look him in the eye. You need to snap him out of his mindset and remind him that you're in charge and he doesn't need to be aggressive.
It will take time and patience, but he can be made more comfortable...
I've also found that walking together as a "pack" helps. The two humans in the middle, the dogs held on a very short leash to either side, and you ignore your dog's aggression, focusing them on the walk itself. After a short while, they should just about forget one another. But this also acclimates them to each other. Good luck!
Dog does what I tell him!

I took our dog out to go to the bathroom , he hates pooping in wet grass so we have been rewarding him with praise and treats when he goes in the back yard. Today I took him out to go poop, I tell him to go Poo poo, he goes in the bushes brings back a piece of his poop in his mouth and places it on the step in front of me, like saying " there's my poop, just like you asked!"
Got to love these dogs!
