Relentless Pup


  • Sounds like you need a bigger bed.

    I was just thinking that :p


  • @Vanessa:

    I was just thinking that :p

    Oh please, regardless if you had wall to wall bed.. it would not be big enough:eek:


  • Best of luck to you! We have a basenji bed hog every night. She starts out with my husband but always end up with me under the covers hogging the entire bed! My back has not been the same since we got her! LOL

    Its insane. Kiya just wont let up. We have given in and now she pushes me in the middle of the night with her paws. I woke up at 7am on the edge of the bed with nails in my back :mad:


  • Sounds pretty normal to me!!!!! (and I am sure that is not what you wanted to hear!)

    Your right though..even if we had a bigger bed…they would hog it too! :D

    Exactly :eek:

    Yes, I often wake up like that as well. It is amazing how they start out on the side and within a couple hours somehow manage to manipulate themselves to dead smack middle of the bed! Funny creatures these B's!:D


  • :rolleyes: No wonder why some ggrrrrrrr when disturbed while sleeping. Do ya think they learn by example? :D :D


  • Part of the bed hog problem is these B's just want to be close to their people.We put our males blanket down on top of the bed and he loves to cuddle in the fleece if he get too warm he will get on top of the blanket and cool off but he will uncurl his tail so that the end of it is still touching you. All bets are off if you get up then its mine mine mine! He also knows he must be a good boy and no nightime exploring or its back to the crate. When we go on vacation it sure seems strange to have a whole bed but after one night we miss our snuggle baby.Our R/W may have the bed our tri girl perfers her crate but she RULES everything else or at least she thinks she does


  • Having shared our bed with 2 dogs and 3 cats for the last 8 years it was no inconvience the first night we had Bitty when she informed me that she was sleeping under the covers against my hip. Since the weather has started to warm up she does move up and pokes her head out from under the covers next to my shoulder. The only problem I have with her is the fact that she always sleeps facing me and I have those 4 feet pushing me all night.

    @nikikob - Wish you luck, but I fear to say that things are going to go badly. When bitches fight, 99.9% of the time you will never get them back together and while it might work for a while, when the "mood" hits... the fights become worse and worse.

    @Micmayhall Michelle, potty training when you aren't home all day is hard for anyone. Options include restrict to a safe room with a large pan with potty papers so the pup doesn't have to go in crate or places you do not have made easy to clean. Since they can only go about an hour per month without wanting to go, it's pretty hard up to about 5 mos if no one is home. http://www.clickerlessons.com/housetraining.htm

    Also, I hear satin balls are good for weight issues. Here's a link to a thread about putting on weight, albeit on an elder, where the second post has the recipe plus a couple other links. If you try them let us know how it goes. http://basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694&highlight=satin+balls

    Kate i have a 2 year old Vizsla ans a ! year old Basenji when i 1st got my B she was very in charge. But now they can not be apart! My male V is very understanding V in a whole are very easy going laid back dogs . My in laws and husban is from hungary and say that V will take a back seat to almost any other dog so i feel that you will not have a problem later on. Just like w/ other V's give him 100 kisses a day and they will be happy Shannon
