My first B started challenging at 16 months, we neutered him shortly after and it did seem to help a little. However it was only a small part of the solution not the whole solution. The closest thing to a magic solution is the excercise and mental stimulation. Basenjis are one of the most intelligent dogs and need more excercise and stimulation than most. I have generally found males to be much easier to work with and less aggressive than females. Correct discipline, structure, positive reinforcement, patience / stubbornness and enough excercise are the keys. Usually when people have problems with their dogs it is the humans which are the cause, not the dogs.
Back from a long absence, still have my pack of 3 plus one not a B but she thinks she is.

Greetings from Houston, I haven't posted in 7 years, Ive been busy with my 3 basenjis 1 Tibetan spaniel, one snake , one fish. weddings , publishing my Natural Awakenings magazine and just living.
My hubby finally got out hugh back yark secured, 6 foot fences not chain, they climbed up on those. The boys never like it indoors, so we have a giant dog house with a heater, fill it with hay, and they are happy campers. -
