Setting up for Success in training

    Uzie has a small bag of tricks so far, high five (left paw); wave(right paw), jump, almost lay dead with the gun pointing at ya; but today we are working on the 'Stay'. Now never put your dog in a place where they may be uncomfortable and therefore break the command of STAY, never in the hot sun, ant hills, wet grass (oh basenji heavens no!!), and make sure it is in a place where the time spent there will help reinforce the command…...:D

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    She is not too old to train, but even saying that, she is a basenji, and no matter the age, a bored basenji will find things to entertain herself, often things we would prefer she not touch. A companion helps, but even so, given temptation a basenji will usually go for it. Think "baby-proof" your house with a baby who can climb, leap, dig and chew. As said above by others, toys which present a challenge will also help.

    @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.
