When you are dealing with something that an animal is afraid of, the best approach is to find his "comfort" distance from the thing that scares him. A busy street makes this a bit more difficult, as you have to find a way to give him that "distance". If you have a car, maybe transporting him to a less busy area might make a good start. Perhaps a side street, where he is comfortably away from busy traffic. You could then walk toward the busy street, pausing as soon as you see some sign of anxiety, and retracing your steps just little until he is in his "comfort zone" again. Gradually…...with the use of bribery and rewards......ask him to approach closer to the scary stuff. Liberally reward him for being there, then retreat. The idea is to not force, let him decide when he is ready. If he feels he can retreat at any time, he will have more confidence. This approach may take awhile, but is less likely to create a permanent aversion. (it works well with spooky horses).
Puppies, Puppies, PUPPIES!!!

I just found out yesterday that puppies were born this weekend!!!
3 girls and 2 boys. A good assortment of tri's and red and whites!
Everything went well and I will post pictures when I receive em.
We may be getting a tri girl to keep our little Chance company -
Oh boy - more puppy pics! Tri pups are the cutest! Getting excited??
-
For a minute there, the way I read it, it sounded like you were getting more than one of the puppies
:D… -
I love basenji puppy pictures – hurry, I can't wait.

Maybe assortment was a bad choice of words but Tri's
Here is a picture that was emailed to me this morning.
Hopefully we will be able to get one of the tri girls. It really depends on the timing. We purchased a home and the builder is saying that it will not be finished until the beginning of February but that date has changed a few times. That’s about the time when we would be able to take our girl home. We would like to be moved in and settled down before we add another pup.
So fingers and paws crossed that this all works out and the builder doesn't delay our home anymore. -
OMG! So cute…and such a tired Mommy...what a sweet picture of them all snuggled in. Looking forward to more when you can!
-
Great pic…too cute!

The little one on the far right, is that a red or a tri?
So cute and pretty, and I bet they have that wonderful puppy smell
-
OMG, that is THE cutest pic ever!!

Is that Gabii? who is the sire, please
So cute and sweet! I will keep everything crossed that things work out for you with timing.

Oh so precious!!!!! Yup, that's it - Puppy Fever has made a come back!!!
-
So sweet!! I'm looking the mommy! I can't wait to see the puppy faces. Amazing how pictures make the adult B's look so huge with their pups. I know, size is relative. I don't see a red/white in there at all…? All paws crossed for you Vanessa.
