Have you read Control Unleashed? There was a blind basenji that would go up to sniff a human and then would nip. So they taught this pup a sniff then retreat type of behavior. The Look at That game, whiplash recall, mat work, off switch game are great for this sort thing. I think the basenji was talked about a lot on the CU list about a year or two ago, you may want to join and check the archieves.
Hello from Rocklin California!

Hello! We are proud to welcome Apollo, a 7 month old basenji mix into our family. We have never owned a basenji before.
We adore Apollo. We have only had him home for 4 days and he is so loving and playful. He is gentle and patient with our 4 and 8 year old boys and has already learned several commands. We are crate training him and he is doing great.
He sleeps in the crate in the boy's room and they all seem to love being read stories together adn then drifting off to sleep.
I am excited to hear from the members in this community!
Take care,
Apollo's Family -
