    I took Sandie for her 11 week check up and her 2nd set of shots… she has doubled her weight from 7 lbs. to 13 lbs. Both ears now errect again :) ... I cant believe how much she has grown in 3 weeks ... That day we went and bought her first crate, and so far she has took to it like a refuge... i put a few of her toys in there and she added a few the last few days... So far she has crated for 3 hours with out having a fit to be let out... When i open the door i always tell her how good she is and give her a puppy biscut...her potty training is going well also, very few accidents usually a human error ( my husband forgetting to let her out when im at work ) Until tonight :( its raining out and she refused to go out, i turned my back 3 seconds and she wet the floor ( BAD GIRL ) I have a feeling she knew she did wrong she went in her crate and hid her head under the blanket... when i told her bad Sandie you do that outside...I hope to post new photos soon... I so need a digital camera :rolleyes:

    Aww! I'm so glad you are enjoying your baby's puppy stage! Sadly I'm missing out on that with my boy Lance! ;(

    My dog put up protest to the rain too, so I took him out on leash. no if's, and's, or but's about it. outside, in the rain, to pee. I did this repeatedly, as he was being housebroken, so he learned no matter what the weather, he goes potty outside. in snow, rain, and sleet. He's never been happy about it, but he learned. While your girl is still young, you may want to take her out on leash, so she accepts going in the rain.

    Thats a great idea… I tried the under the tree thing and made sure she had no way to get back inside... she did go outside with a lil protest...

    Let's also consider that when you chase your dog, the dog thinks it's a game and will run away from you. Like... "you can't catch me!" Man, Basenji's can bolt! On the other hand, when you are the one running away, the dog instinctively joins you because you are part of the dog's family/pack. This is not to be confused with a learned command to chase an assailant, in Police work, for example. That would be a totally different game of chase.

    @eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...

    @zande - I have place pups at 9wks, but typically to prior Basenji owners, they know the "ropes"... also I do eyes at 9wks, so 10 works better for me in placing pups and yes...(LOL) mine are raised in the home, no kennel.... and the breeders that I know that use kennel runs, still have their pups in the house for house time and "education".....

    Management is the greatest tool for preventing this kind of behavior. Also, as others have mentioned, exercise and wearing them out energetically is very useful as well. If they have access to an appropriate toy to chew on, are managed correctly, and get enough daily exercise, you shouldn't have too many problems.
