So much fun to work with them

Basenji Talk
  • When we're sailing, my biggest job is our animals :)

    Buana has to be fully trained, not just for shows, also for the casting and his job as social dog.

    Every day I train a little bit with all three of them.
    One of a time, I'll take downstairs (they're with us in the wheelhouse)

    Buana begins with a big yodel, he likes it soo much..
    He knows very much commants and trics and i'm a bit empty of ideas.. so now i'm teaching him from a distance, about 6meters away.

    It's so nice to work with him because he likes it so much :D
    He don't want snacks as a treat but he wants a hug… (crazy boy)

    I've a whole list of things he's doing good..

    • Sit
    • Lie down
    • Flat on the floor with his whole body and head
    • Paw
    • Other paw
    • High five with botd paws
    • Higfive with one paw
    • high five with the other paw
    • Make a Bow, and stay till i say, free
    • come stand in front of me
    • Come stand next to me
    • Stand on two legs
    • Walk with me, trough my legs
    • Wave at me
    • Brush his head with his paw
    • Sit/Lie down and wait
    • Follow me
    • Roll over
    • Get me some toys
    • Touch, as I say touch, he touches my hand and so I can learn him so much
      I think I'm forgetting a few trics... :confused:

    From a distance Buana can:

    • Sit
    • Lie down
    • Lie flat
    • Wave at me
    • Brush his head with his paw
    • Make a bow

    He never wants to stop training, but after ten minuts I say it's enough and i'm going to play with him..
    If I say "i'm going to get you" (or in dutch Ik ga je pakken!!) he's going to run across the room so I can chase him, after some big idiot acts from buana he jumps at the sofa so I can GET him... I give him a hug and pick him op to go to the wheelhouse (thats just one stairs up ;))

    Chafuko is more of a naughty one,

    He gives his paws,
    A hig five with one paw
    he sits, lies down
    he follows
    he knows "touch"
    And so funny is the twist!
    He stands in front of me and I say Twist! than he makes as quick as possible a twist, with his little brindle but half in the air... hahahaha

    Hailey knows sit, wait and lie down, much more I didn't practice yet. First she has to be fully happy, and herselve again.. I think that's almost now.
    Yesterday I did some show training, and WOW she's so pretty :D
    A little bit too happy but i don't mind that!

    Are here some B's too that like to train??

  • What a great story, I can picture the pups now, out on the boats!

    Thanks for sharing! I love your pack! :)

    thank you so much!:D

  • you know mine do :) well at least Kalusha & Thirza like to train tricks :)
    Jenson cant be bothered, and Lio neither hahahaha

  • I've only just started to work with my new one so i don't know how he will do. But my previous one would do only the simple things.

    Buana have you tried to teach them to dance, since they like to do so much?

  • @Buana:

    • High five with both paws

    High…ten?

    :p

  • @mauigirl:

    High…ten?

    :p

    :D :D

    Tillo loves to practise.. favorite trick: Kiss :D
    And it all has to go in a hurry.. because he doesn't like to stand still and wait.. or the 'wait' has to be a commant :rolleyes:

    An idea for Buana.. Let him sit and stay.. walk away.. call him to come and while he is comming, tell him to wait. He has to stop walking and sit or lay down. We are training this with Tillo and he's pretty good at it :D

    I'm going to practise!!!:D

    @golfdiva He is adorable - agree w/ @ Tanza many dogs breeds have some of the basenji characteristics. He very well could be part basenj but the only way to know for sure is a DNA test. Regardless- he’s a lucky to have found a loving home. Enjoy him and keep us posted if you find out for sure his genealogy. 🐾❤️

    Alex, my daughter just got a Samoyed puppy. We are not allowing him loose with Cara yet, but she does crazy play with him in his crate and he literally rocks it side to side playing back. Your guys made me laugh. I love the wilds. (Unfortunately Cara wants to play around 1 am!)

    My husband and I went to a Rays baseball game several weeks ago where he actually caught a foul ball! Well we brought the ball home and he was so proud (never caught a ball before) but guess who has had her eyes on it since it came into the house. You guessed it little Ms. Trixie. He had it showing our kids and she actually jumped up onto his lap and tried to take it. We of course have since went out and bought her (I know spoiled rotten) her own baseball and she loves it!

    Yes he is an attentionaddict. If I'm trying to exercise he either scratches my head, pulls my hair or trys to lay right on my mat and gets in my way. When my daughter tries doing her homework on the sofa, he'll pull on her books, bite the pages, corners, or paws at them to knock them down.

    That sounds good! I am working with the positive reinforcement, and for the most part it works, just in that instance she goes "deaf". I also "clicker" train Callie, and she loves that!
