It's been my experience that sometimes my basenji just gets it in her head that she doesn't like another dog, and for seemingly no good reason. I have been able to mitigate her behavior, but this is not a cure….
First, an excited basenji is a biting basenji. Make sure he's calm. Make him sit. Exert your dominance. Stand over your dog, look him in the eye. You need to snap him out of his mindset and remind him that you're in charge and he doesn't need to be aggressive.
It will take time and patience, but he can be made more comfortable...
I've also found that walking together as a "pack" helps. The two humans in the middle, the dogs held on a very short leash to either side, and you ignore your dog's aggression, focusing them on the walk itself. After a short while, they should just about forget one another. But this also acclimates them to each other. Good luck!

I was looking around at martingales on the internet an found this:

I saw only one post here referencing a bell collar.
I couldn't see Rye ever wearing a under belly bell

The way Jayden pees, the underbelly bell would have to be rust proof!

Very cool! I didn't even know you could get those bells in America. They look different than pics I have seen of the neck bells wore by the dogs in the area the Avongaras were exported from but neat none the less.

EL D would have that bell off his belly in no time!

My mum has one of these, though a bit different.A good friend of hers, sadly no longer with us of the Taysenji Basenjis brought it back for her when she spent time living in Zambia many years ago. It will be passed down to me when my mum is no longer here as it has sentimental values and I will never be parted with it.
