Crate Buddy


  • So I got Dallas this big teddy bear for his crate (to keep him company & keep him warm at night). This was their first meet:

    What do you mean I'm not allowed to chew him to shreds?!?

    Fine! Let me test him out…

    No, I think I like daddy's foot much better…:p

    He has gotten significantly better in the crate. I have started doing an exercise with him where I put him in the crate about 30 minutes prior to bedtime & give him a little treat for a minute in which he doesn't whine, then give him a treat after 1.5 mins, then 2, etc. If he does whine I say "NO!" & if he stops whining after this I give him a little treat. Finally, if he lays down in the crate while doing this I give him the remainder of the bone :) So far, so good!


  • What precious photos. Sounds like he's adjusting to the crate training. Keep up the good work!


  • too cute, don't you just love it when they crash and burn, they can get themselves in the stangest positions!


  • Glad to hear its all working out.

    I am so sorry about your brother. Yes, seems he was meant to be with your family. If you get a chance, record his vocalizations. We really love pictures and videos!

    @styvez: He does Bark, but tends to make a whole lot of other noises instead, i've read up on Basenji's but never seen or heard one so i dont know what kind of noises they make. Does he sound anything like this? http://s11.photobucket.com/user/eeeefarm/media/Basenji/MOV01074.mp4.html

    @snorky998: Looks like the video worked well. Buddy recalled to the TV instantly:D Now all you have to do is imitate the wonderfully silly voice and he'll come running every time:D Let us know how that works out!! Thanks for the clip. It was adorable. That's correct! The high pitched "SPREEEEE"! That's the dogs name (Spree) in the video. So it will have to be "BUDDEEEEE! I will have to work on the high pitch.

    @navyman: Right, and I just remembered they do the minpins too! Now that's asking for double-trouble :eek: Yes she does have the Min Pins too, she has "Ace"(Ch. Altanero Barnstormer) that is in the top ten in the country(currently #6). Those things are just a little to hyper for me.:eek: I think she has over 20 Basenji's.
