Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg
Hi from Colorado!

Hi - I found this site surfing for nutrition information on basenji's and have found a bunch of helpful advice and just confirmation that what our dog does is normal!
We have a 1 year old (tomorrow) Basenji mix (with Italian Greyhound) named Gromit after Wallace & Gromit. He has been a handful but just so entertaining and brings so much to our life. He is currently the only dog we own and the first one we've raised from a puppy.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and a general thanks.
