I once saw a basenji clicker trained to scratch at the proper grade sand paper that was glued to a board. The basenji even curled his paw so the pads were not injured. This kept the nails perfectly trimmed. Perhaps the scratching/digging behavior could be re-directed into the more productive behavior and nail clipping would never be an issue!

That's amazing. It shows you what can be done.

Love it! I've never seen a basenji so obedient for so long!
-
That's great! My girl does the part where she crosses between your legs, but usually with a leash attached! :o
-
LMAO that was great!!!

Wow - I was impressed with both videos. I bet training the Retreiver was far easier than to the Basenji too. I didn't expect to see a B hanging on to attention that long.

My dogs would have been off & running- somewhere else.

WOW!!! That's awesome
There's someone in our Basenji club that is into teaching "Freestyle" -
That was very cute! A couple of my friends do freestyle (not with Basenjis!) They were trying to get me to teach Blondie a routine to 'Walk Like An Egyptian'
I think it would be a really fun sport…but I HATE dancing...so I don't think it is for me On another note...Hillbilly Rock and Roll? Can anybody think of a dog that is LESS of a hillbilly than a basenji? (No offense to any Hillbillies reading this...love our Appalachian friends...and I think I MIGHT be a red neck, according to Jeff Foxworthy...I DO like NASCAR!) At the beginning of the routine the dog is looking at the woman like, 'are you kidding me? You want me to do this in public?' hee, hee...very fun though!

Absolutely awesome. I really am impressed at how long the dog lasted.

Love it. I had seen the golden video a couple years ago and though. well of course a golden would be willing to learn that. Amazing that a Basenji actually decided it was worth while to learn that
