Well, it does sound like you are doing the best. This is just a forum and the info given and then taken into action on your part may be miles away because they (we) are not living right there…. Just keep up the best that you are doing. Wish you all the best....it can be frustrating beyond what we would understand because the situation you have with Basil is similar BUT WAAAAY different then we ever had;;;;we never had Basil!!!!!!!!! I am (we are?) behind you and wish you good luck. It is a handful. Knowing you get on the forum to vent is why it exists I guess....Take the info and apply it as best you can before the behaviorist or trainer gets involved. Remember, dogs, even Basenjis can learn something all over again with the correct input-HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kudos!!!:)
Meet Kilo-Georgia K9's New Narcotics Detection Pup
-
I would like to formally introduce Kilo to the Basenji world. He was our pick of our working basenji litter. Kilo was thoroughly tested for working traits for scent detection. He is nine weeks old and begins his formal training now. This training will consist of environmental desensitization, puppy play groups, lots of play related to detection, and his first odor introduction. This is pic is of Kilo meeting Valco, a wonderful GSD owned and handled by our Kennel Master, Phoebe Bault.

Awwww, he's cute!!!!!!

What big jobs for such a little guy! I am sure this "chosen one" will rise to the challenge. Looking forward to updates.
-
Kilo is a great name for a drug-sniffer, hahaha! He is gorgeous.
-
What a beautiful little pup! I'm sure he will rise to the challenge he has before him. More and more we see reports of these agile little geniuses being chosen for this type work as they can fit between things and walk with delicacy through piles of luggage, etc.
-
That's wonderful! And he is just beautiful. Thats great that he will be able to work and use his mind like it should/could be used. Please keep us updated.

He is a beauty

He could not be any cuter! Can't wait to hear your updates!
