Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

Welcome at the forum!
What a great name for a Basenji!!!

Welcome, who did your pup come from if you don't mind sharing

Einstein.. That's a great name for a breed that's so inventive in finding ways to make their owners go crazy..
Welcome! We love pics..

I aquired him through djakomba in south jersey. He lives up to his name most of the time, though he does have selective listening, like most boys! :p He is wonderful, and I know I'm biased, but I also think he is incredibly beautiful and I can't stop taking pictures… so be careful what you wish for!

He is adorable!!!!!

Congrats! He is really cute!! I have a Djakomba basenji too. She's a trindle.
Thank you. That's great to hear, I wonder if she is from the same litter as Einstein? He was born on Dec. 23rd. Do you show your dogs?

My girl is almost 18 months old now and yes I show her. She's an awesome dog!!

Hello everyone! We just survived our first month with our 12 week old Brindle Male named Einstein. Even with the lack of sleep we love him and he finds new ways to make us happy and crazy at the same time! I look forward to reading all of the information that I can here. He is a handful!
Welcome and congrats, its the glass half full or empyty with B's . He will settle in, I would start puppy class with someone who had some basenji experience…
Send us pics....

Welcome from Luxembourg! What a lovely puppy! My B is almost 14 years old.

Fellow basenji humans,
I haven't posted for a long time, I've had foot surgery twice, and a wedding, I actually had hurt my foot walking my pack of 3 than again in the yard I fell in a fence post hole.
When I got back home with the cast my lady Belle, who is my first girl protected me from those "boys" .
We've had the boys for almost a year and Belle still tolerates them , but I get this "look" every now and than that tells me she doesn't want them around her!I'll be catching up will all the news and new pictures soon.

He is adorable, and I agree, what a great name..
Welcome onboard, can't wait to see Einstein grow up.. -
