Who gets the computer chair

  • Forever AmberF

    My 24 yr old son came over to work on our pc yesterday and had a taste of basenji stubborness. Zoey loves the computer chair. As soon as you leave that chair she jumps up and curls into a ball. She will allow me a few inches if I really must get back on the pc lol. If i'm there first she will curl up behind me so of course I scoot forward to give her more room. She will lean against hubbys back but she will be on that chair :). Anyway my son went to sit down and had to push zoe off. She went but gave him that look! As soon as he got up to get something she jumped up again. He came back and tried to push her off but she dug in and the more he pushed the more she wouldnt move. He ended up pushing basenji and chair (which is not on wheels) a good 10 ft.
    He tipped the chair till she fell off. Had to carry it back and as soon as he set it down she was trying to jump up again. He picked her up put her on the ground in the living room, then the race was on as they both rushed back to the chair. I was no help because I was laughing too hard. He finally got the chair but she kept putting her front feet on his lap. Got to love a spoiled B.

    of course I'm comfortable

    btw, Cody is sleeping behind me as I type this, so I can sympathize!

    Mine's not so attached to the chair but she loves to sit in my lap when I work at the computer. Loves the little arrow especially when I make it go in circles!

    That sounds so cute! I have seen 'that look' in my sister's dog and even in my cats. We call it "stink eye".

    We have 2 computer chairs. As soon as a human gets up, a basenji lands in the chair. Then the human wants to return to the computer, you roll the one with the basenji out of the way and sit in the second chair. When you get up again, the basenji will move into this second chair. Ad infinitum…...

    Sounds like they like the 'bum warmth' :) left behind by their owner.

    Her face looks Basenji, maybe not the muzzle however. Are they destructive? Can be, don't have to be. I don't like to crate and I never have, beyond the initial puppy stage or with a rescue until I can get a handle on what to expect. I do restrict access to areas of the house that might be vulnerable until I am sure of the dog. Not all can be trusted to have free rein. Be consistent in what you expect or will tolerate, and be very watchful until you understand what behaviour is "normal" for your new dog. Are they really that active? I would say no. She is likely excited to be in a new place and curious about everything. She should settle down. Of course, with a rescue there may well be reasons someone gave up on her, and it's not always immediately apparent if a dog has problems. Hopefully she will fit in well with your family. Invisible fence......likely not a good choice for a Basenji, particularly if there are coyotes in your area. You need to protect her. Coyotes will go after a small dog, and sometimes even a not so small one. I know someone who lost a Jack Russell when he was lured by coyotes and then attacked once he was beyond his master's protection.....and Jack Russells are tough little dogs! However, invisible fence can be useful to back up a physical fence if your dog turns out to be an escape artist. Regarding landscaping.....there are some deer fences that blend well and become almost invisible. Perhaps combined with invisible fence that might be a good option. Otherwise, walks or biking your dog should help, and definitely challenge her mentally. Basenjis are clever and I believe they enjoy learning. I taught my boy to retrieve objects by name.....it was fun for both of us. Good luck with her.

    I have a general question. Does anybody elses Basenji not like to be picked up. Ours sometimes loves it, and sometimes not. Also sometimes she runs up to dogs as quiet as can be and plays, and than other times she makes a squeeling noise, and people are afraid she is picking a fight with their dog. But I think shes just talking. She squeels at our new Whippet puppy, and loves to play with her and is as gentle as can be, considering the Whippet puppy is really rough on my poor Basenji baby girl. does anyone know what the squeeling means. The baroo I get she does that all the time. The squeeling is confusing.

    The neighbors boxer was not so much aggressive with Cali as she was with my brothers boxer. Cali usally plays with their German Shepherd pup and they get along really well. True, I shouldnt have taken Lady anywhere near their boxer, but I thought they would get along because their boxer gets along with the other boxer down the street.. My brother also has a Cane Corso(Italian Mastiff) and a Rottweiler and his Boxer is used to playing with them all of the time because they live together. When I say discipline I mean more of a "time out" in the crate or a stern NO! Sometimes if I clap my hands once and say NO! at the same time she gets the message. I have had her 2 months now and we are both making progress. I am learning what worked for my other dogs does not necessarily work for Cali. I do notice that training her is a lot different from my previous 2 dogs (Pitbull/Rottweiler mix and a German Shepherd). I have been reading a lot of the posts about obedience and training on the forum and it has helped a lot. Cali is like no other dog that I have owned, but I like being challenged.:) :) :)
