    really training a basenji isn't like training any other dog.
    True puppy class is about helping your dog be social, but "training" well, its IMO different from training any other breeds.
    The EBC club has a manual, Basenji Owners Manual that is very helpful for the first time owner.
    I do believe its listed on this site.
    I would sure recommend it.

    Yeah I have read up on some info about basenji's for awhile, and tomorrow I am going to Borders and buying Basenjis: Complete Pet Owners Manual. How do I order the Basenji Owners Manual? I found the website, but it does not direct you to ordering it.

    I sent them an email thanks. I am not comfortable with sending check through mail, so I asked if there was another way of paying.

    I want to tell you that you do NOT get chances to 'do over' typically with this breed - it is very much easier to start right from the beginning than to try to redo or fix. Call it puppy socialization to your mom instead then she can work on some one-to-one stuff too. Anyone that has a basenji or any training center that has worked with them will tell you - this is a unique breed and they will not respond in a way you expect.

    You have to decide though - to let your mother with her undersize poodle train this dog in spite of having no real experience - or believe us heck between tanzia and I alone I think there's 50 years of experience there - factore in Lisa and Robyn etc and we might even be over 100. I'm pretty sure we do know what we are talking about.

    And something else to consider - is your mom up to date with the latest training methods? Training has changed a LOT in the last 10 years or so. I'm always trying to get more info on training. I've put over 20 titles on one basenji and I'm still trying desparately to learn new/better ways of doing things for my 2 year old.

    The Basenji Club of Southern Wisconsin has a book too. You can get it on their website and pay with Paypal if you are more comfortable with that. Similarly, I think it was developed with the help of people long-familiar with basenjis. I have not read the one that Sharron is recommending so I can't compare the two but the topics of discusion are similar. Go to online shopping to pay for it versus filling out the form. http://www.bcosw.org/

    In my opinion I would bring the pup to class . I have always said i regret not taken phoenix in when i got him {9mths} I did go to puppy class with Denver my r+w and it made a BIG, HUGE difference. Not to mention ur getting a Tri . I say instead of TRI standing for three colors {what it really means in basenji owners is .. TRY NOT TO LOSS UR MIND } LOL

    Basenji's don't steal they Borrow ..![](images/smilies/biggrin.png "Big Grin")

    Haha that's funny. I am going to get the books, and my mom is up to date w training… I saw petsmart has training, and my friend did it and it worked out well. Also the humane society by me doesnt start until late march. that seems too late...

    Interesting thing about TRI's… ggg... I think the bitches are far more "tri-ing" then the boys... or maybe they are just smarter.... I always tell people that the "Girls have an agenda and the Boys don't have a clue"..... and that goes for all colors....

    So basically I'm in for some 'fun' with a tri, and him being a boy? Lol

    I perused through the BCOSW site. If you click "breeders" you'll see many have websites. There is a wealth of info in them.

    This one - http://www.arendahlbasenjis.com/basenjis.html has some critical information about safety - all very important points. Scrolling down, there are sights about Basenji health.

    All good reading material for planning cuttipie732. It's fantastic that you're doing your homework - bringing home the puppy will be the final exam. Good luck!

    Thank you very much for the info. I will definitely look into it. Also thank you for the compliment. I don't mind it, it's only more homework! Since I am a college student. lol

    It is all the way on the bottom, I was looking to buy it myself and found it below all of the membership information, it was the last thing you could purchase.

    Can a male Basenji live with another male dog?

    @eeeefarm said in Can a male Basenji live with another male dog?: Tamu was considerate of Lady when she started to fail, The Duchess, a bitch bred by us, went to live with a another Basenji bitch. When Tok started to fail, the Duchess felt it her duty to feed her and went miles out over the fields, hunting. She brought back flea-ridden rabbits on an almost daily basis which she gently nosed towards the aging Tok. While she appreciated the deed, their owner didn't like the choice of diet which the Duchess provided for her friend. She was utterly devastated when finally Tok crossed the Bridge at 15 +

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    When Cory and Jayden get into something special (in their eyes) that they suspect they aren't supposed to have, they go and hide in a chair so they can examine it and chew it in private. There is no "Let's go show Mom!". Often Cory will rat Jayden out. She will make such a fuss that I've learned to recognize her "tattling" ruckus. If I want to get on the computer, I have to secure them in the room with me or put them outside. If not, Jayden WILL find something for them to get into. He is tall for a basenji and I swear he can use his front paws like hands! Pat

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!
