My first B started challenging at 16 months, we neutered him shortly after and it did seem to help a little. However it was only a small part of the solution not the whole solution. The closest thing to a magic solution is the excercise and mental stimulation. Basenjis are one of the most intelligent dogs and need more excercise and stimulation than most. I have generally found males to be much easier to work with and less aggressive than females. Correct discipline, structure, positive reinforcement, patience / stubbornness and enough excercise are the keys. Usually when people have problems with their dogs it is the humans which are the cause, not the dogs.
Just found this site!

Welcome to the site, Tom. We're sorry to learn of your loss, but really happy you are going to be getting another B. Be sure to post pictures when you have one. You'll probably be a valued member here, with so much experience in dealing with Basenjis.

What a handsome boy!

Hello & welcome from Canada. Good looking boy you have there. Sorry about your loss of the other 2. I'm sure you also have a wealth of info to share - having had those 2,

The glorious day has arrived. Leo flew into LaGuardia from Canada and has been living with us for a week. Three years old and what a sweet B!:)
He was a little nervous at first but seems to be settling in well. We're giving him lots of exercise and introducing him to the area. He is determined to catch a deer.
He already has decided on a favorite couch and the bed near the sun!:D
Life is Good!

Aww - he looks like such a sweetie!

Congrats! It looks like he has settled in already.. Great pics!

Welcome look forward to talking with you. Sure you can help a lot of us that have not had our B's very long. They are great.
