Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.

Last night I was able to get Chance to sit there right in front of his food bowl and not touch it until I gave him the command to do so..He waited 4 min! It was so cute..He kept looking at me, back at the food, back at me and then finally sat all the way down and took a big breath as if to say fine. Hahahaha!
I do believe my dog can learn something :rolleyes: -
Way to go Chance!!!
Deserves a special treat if you ask me!!! -
