I once saw a basenji clicker trained to scratch at the proper grade sand paper that was glued to a board. The basenji even curled his paw so the pads were not injured. This kept the nails perfectly trimmed. Perhaps the scratching/digging behavior could be re-directed into the more productive behavior and nail clipping would never be an issue!
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.:)
