Welcome to the Forum. It sounds as though this 'protectiveness' has been going on a long time. I agree that probably it would be best to get help from a behaviorist but make sure that they have experience of Basenjis. In the meantime keep him away from your guests. It's possible that he's stirred up by the excitement so it's best to try to keep him calm when people are around.
Hello from central florida!

hello, my name is Alan and i live with 2 very awesome basenjis ramses and cleo. i found this forum and just had to sign up. i have had ramses a tri color male since he was 3 months old, and we recently just rescued cleo. she escaped from a puppy mill and has the scars to prove it, but she is coming along great not after 3 weeks home with me. for some reason she loves to cuddle with me but not my girlfriend. lol. ramses is the best thing that ever happened to me, he is like an extension of me. he is the most friendly outgoing dog ever, any person that comes over instantly falls in love with ramses. having them both tested for fanconi soon . hello again and ask away!:rolleyes:

Welcome Alan, girlfriend, Ramses and Cleo. It's great of you to rescue Cleo. I'm sure she's very happy to get the heck outta there. Post some pics as we would love to see them.

Welcome all! As for your Cleo and girlfriend matter, sometimes, rescues associate certain things with bad experiences. Cleo may associate your girlfriend with her caregiver-woman took care of her at the puppy mill, your girlfriend is female.
