How well-trined can a Basenji become?

Basenji Training
  • Okay didn't want to make a THREAD, but where is ivoss? I looked and no posts since January.

  • I thought that too, along with Kipawa…hmmm

    Maybe they were trying to avoid puppy season..lol

  • ROFLMAO, puppy season… oh the unfulfilled yearnings!

  • As everyone here has said, it's possible to expect your basenji to e "reasonably trained" - but, that doesn't mean he/she is going to do it every time, and they are very easily bored. As someone has as a tag line, "A Basenji does not obey to orders, it may listen to proposals." The operative word here being "may." Success ten times in a row is no assurance regarding the 11th time. Still, they are worth it. As to the furniture, etc., we finally decided to make a choice: a pristine household or basenjis. Guess what we choose. …....

  • Same goes for having a nice garden, or not.

  • Y'a know, just a random thought.
    I love Rotties, chows and basenjis.

    ANCIENT breeds – chows and basenji in the oldest group.
    New breed::: Rottweilers.

    You can teach a freaking Rottweiler to do ANYTHING, consistently. They live to please.

    Chows and basenjis-- yeah right.

    I remember about 15 yrs ago going first to the American Rottie front page online... article on how to get your dog to do a flip and finish etc.

    I go to the Chow page. I am not joking.. main article... How to Teach Your Chow to Come.

    I laughed a long long long time at the truthfulness of it all. I once knew a lady here in GA that got OBEDIENCE AND AGILITY titles on her dogs. I one day got to meet here when I picked up a rescue to transport and so I asked her HOW. She said, you have to do it young because between 18 mos and 2 yrs, they stopped performing for you.

    So, at least we aren't alone.

    Ivoss is awaiting the birth of their first child!….. so busy with that, baby's room, Basenjis, and teaching school. But all is well with the Voss household

  • Whoo hoo, congrats to her..I had no idea :)

  • I think Chow Rules are spot on with Basenji rules!

  • OH MY GOODNESS! Please please give her my congrats! LOL we should throw her a basenji board virtual shower. :)

    i walk the lab and isis at the same time one on hand and one on the other, the lab seem to have a major drive to sniff out anything and track blindly and of course isis will be doing the same, the b is easier to control cause she lighter but the m1 tank of the lab well.. we've came across little furry friends on our nitely walks i need to stay very focus on my surroundings, one thing the b does if theres someone walking behind us doesnt matter how far , she walk ahead stop and turn to look back, she'll keep doing this repeatedly like she warning me these something there,im sure its instinct on her end to,of course i confirm whats shes doing but yeah those b's dont miss a trick

    Thanks, I didn't even look at the link in it full pasted format. It was sent to me in an unusual format not just pasted into the message which is why I wasn't sure it would work. Thanks for adding the link on its own. Therese

    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 :)

    I started with a cat toy with a pl bag tied on the end to see if they would be interested before i went any further. The I used an old fishing rod with rope tied from there. Kind of worked the same as a lunge whip. (I'm too cheap to buy one if I don't absolutely need one)
