I have had that same situation with Ayo,only with him it's usually with large dogs. we only have one area at the park here, all together, small dogs and big dogs. When he goes in he always chooses one big dog , runs up to him and starts growling. Sometimes he stops very quickly, or the other dog growls back and it stops or it escalates , usually because the other dogs owner freaks out. He is fine around small dogs. And I am pretty sure that he is fine with most dogs, that if I leave them they will work it out, but I'm afraid to let it play out because bigger dogs can really hurt him, and also because usually the other owner freaks and intervenes making everything worse. Sooo, Ayo has started to get a bit of a rep.. The basenji rep!! I usually wait till only small dogs are in…
First time Basenji Training
-
Hello all,
I am new to this forum and new to basenjis. Just wondering if there was a book or a website that would help me train my pup. I get her on Saturday, I adoped her from an Arkansas Human Society, she is a Basenji/Shepherd mix her name is Lilu.Just wanted to freshen up on training and see if there is anything really different that i would need to learn on training basenjis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I saw a thread in Books (I think) called Basenji Owner's Manual that some of the members are saying is pretty good. Keep in mind that Lilu is part Shepherd too. She may end up with some behavioral traits of that breed as well.
Surf the puppy sections too…lots of great information there.:)
