    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    Welcome Jackie. The ideas about leaving Akila alone for a short time and then lengthening the time have worked in the past for us. The soft things with familiar smell also should help. One other trick we have tried is to leave a TV or radio on at low levels. Talk radio or TV seems to work, but not too loud! Welcome back to the wonderful world of Basenjis Tom

    @wizard: They look like they are perfectly matched - and neither one looks "fat". I have uploaded the contrasting photos. Go have a kick

    Giza swam in the Atlantic once when we were out walkin' at low tide and the tile came in. The Atlantic in Canada is pretty cold!

    They also need to have plenty of available things they are allowed to chew on! They are not a dog that can be allowed to get bored while unattended, not if you value your shoes, pencils, pillows, chair legs. . . . Awesome breed,though! No doubt about it. I'm glad I stumbled into them. I'd always heard about them when I was a kid,but it was just that they were "those African Barkless dogs". That's all I knew. I'm hooked now though. Two years ago Bloodhounds were my favorite dog. Now it's Basenji all the way! There are just no other dogs like them.
