It's a slow process, be patient and consistent with her. We adopted Bolt 6 years ago, he's 12 y/o and 3/4 Africain. We don't know his history, but at some point he got into a dog fight. He has the scars to prove it. When we walk, there are certain dogs that will trigger a violent reaction from him. Over the years I've gotten very good at reading other people, and how they walk their dogs, plus reading their dog's body language. A high straight up tail tightly wagging will send him off the rails. I've worked extensively with him to the point that he is manageable when he sees other dogs. I usually make him sit, or give as wide a distance as I can allow. BUT, he is a biter, so I'm extremely cautious when I'm around other people. All bets are off if that other dog is not leashed!! It does get better, and yes you can teach an older dog new behaviors, I certainly did.

Thanks, the dogs love running and they have so much fun at it. It was nice to have Sophie finish her title today and icing that she beat her older sister.
RCRA also has great prizes for all us Other Breeds, dog treats and toys, so they are doubly happy at the end of the day. They are nice and worn out and have had a nice snack and have toys waiting for them when they wake up.

Hi All,
Would love to brag about my Rocky,UKC Champion Kiroja Chicago Hood at Jaroufa,SGRC,ORCHe got 5 pts over the week-end at the PHAST NOTRA meet and is currently #1 NOTRA Basenji for the year with 19.5 pts.
In two weeks we go to regain his #1 spot in LGRA.I'm trying to make him the first basenji in history to hold the #1 spot in both LGRA/NOTRA.
Rocky is a SUPERDOG! Lightning fast and a momma's boy.
I'm sooooooooo proud of him and hope to have many more years of racing with him.Kathryn D. Ladick
