    @Sass7656 - Many a Basenji would prefer to be only dogs..... and certainly I agree with crate training, I do not believe in leave 2 in one crate regardless of the size.... next to each other but in separate crates.... I agree with Debra, you could have just as easily come home to a disaster....

    First thought… good luck with that. Let me know what helps you. Second, okay it does get better as they get older. Third, yep yep to eeefarms... rain is my "sleep in friend" too. If I wake up after 8, most of the time it's raining. Otherwise they poke me to death. I do agree sleeping IN THE BED WITH YOU may help, but once you start it, it is hard to ever get them out again. If peeing is first, maybe remove water after 8? Play the pup's butt off before bed to wear out.

    I buy 12 inch 'sticks, thick ones, and then toss the last 2 inches to prevent the 3 am barf. My guys are older and the sticks last for several days. They would be too expensive if they ate them in an hour!

    You need a "stand" command for more advanced obedience. Also, it is good to teach sit from standing and from down. Many (most?) dogs understand "sit" as an action, not a position, so they may know it from standing but don't have a clue when they are lying down. :)

    I love the Q-tip obsession! We discovered a hilarious game…my husband goes on one side of a closed dog and Darwin and I are on the other. then my husband drags the Q-tips around under the door or randomly pokes it out. Darwin goes crazy trying to get the Q-tip!
