New activities

[thunderbird8588]

I will be interested to hear how Tillo gets on. When we get our Basenji it is something i would be interested in eventualy.
My Dad is thinking of taking their Papillon. He can already dance, jump through hoops and go through a tunnel at home so i think he will do well.

Good for you Janneke! Looking forward to hearing about how much fun you and Tillo have with the new activities. It's definitely more fun to diversify!

The people will probably stand around the ring, laugh, whisper, snicker. At least that's what I get! But I have fun, so what the heck!

One lady came up to me after I was in the ring with a very stubborn (typical B move-I don't want to do it attitude) Shadow, and asked me what happened to my lovely little dog. I told her - He's a BASENJI!</thanks..>

Tillo must be very motivated by treats. I could never get my B to do this as he's not motivated by treats. He'd take one look at the agility equipment and say "OK, this looks stupid". :rolleyes:

I'm glad Tillo likes it. It's nice to see a Basenji with an interest in agility training. :D

No, it's not about the treats. He likes it, I think, because of the adrenaline, the speed and the 'weird' obstacles. He just thinks it's very exciting! :D

Just a little update/brag.. Tonight we had agility training and Tillo did it all.. off leash!! The weeks before he just kept running away as soon as the leash came off.. but now he was nearly perfect :D He's such a smart boy! :D

Still no pics though… :o ;)

[thunderbird8588]
