I've been involved with Basenjis for many years and can only remember one occasion where one Basenji was startled by one particular noise ( ice cream mixer van starting up), otherwise they seem completely immune to noises even the loudest ones. Of course there will always be the odd exception.

OMG!! He is so cute! I love the way his tail wagged at the end! That was adorable!

Thanks nala! That's my favorite part too.
I'm feeling a little stupid. I believe I put this thread in the wrong topic. My apologies.

LOL! I wish I could get my guys to do stuff like that without treats, very cute!

Thats adorable. And I am amazed he did what you asked him to do. Dash would have looked at me like " why?"

Thanks Everyone!!!
It took me about a month to teach him that (he was about a year and a half old). I started off by sititng on the floor with him, rolling him over gently, rubbing his belly and softly saying "Show me your belly". Then I would roll him over, say it then rub. Little by littly he started to get it. Believe me though, he is still a basenji and does not do it every time. I would say he does is once out of maybe 3 times.
