Hello,
I would love my Nilo to enjoy this sport, but reading the posts about lure in FL, seems that all clubs are really far away from Miami. Is there any group of lure coursing fanciers a little bit closer that could give me more info on trainings, meetings or if there is a way to practice for basenjis that live in apartments?

to earn a JC you run a two JC trials, which are just a single run, by yourself. You could run Sat and Sun and potentially earn a JC. Running JC is a good way to learn.

Knipper: Kicked him in the head??? :eek::eek::eek:

I'd have done more than tear just a stripe out of her. My stomach turns to knots just thinking of someone kicking a dog in the head!:mad::mad:

Can't say I blame Blaze at all for growling at her and meaning it.

Too bad about kids, though. 😞 It makes me sad the things folks can do to change a dog's attitude.

@agilebasenji:

So perhaps he wasn't shredding his bedding because he was stressed. He was probably shredding it because it's fun! 🆒

Apparently, it is fun! Mine doesn't take the bedding out the door of the crate, she prefers to pull it through the wires and drags the crate halfway across the room. I'm picking my battles with her as she has had a rough life.
When I say "No.." my girl gives me that wrinkled forehead look as if to say, "whatever…" and goes off to find something else that is entertaining.

@Duke:

Just try and convince a trainer that doesn't do the "positive reward" or "treat based" training methods that their methods are not as effective.

The guy who installed our underground fence has since gotten into dog training. He tried to sell me his services when I ordered a collar for Daisy last year. When I asked if his training methods were click and treat based, he said "behavior modification". When I tried to discuss the benefits of the positive reinfocement methods that helped me with Duke, he scoffed that dogs should learn without bribery! Well - I ended the chat since I knew we disagreed.

And that is when you just "agree" to disagree and know that is one person you will never use…...

@lvoss:

In order to get a JC your dog does not need to run with another dog. A JC is earned by your dog running the course by itself. It must pass 2 JC tests to earn the title.

To certify a dog for ASFA the dog must run with another dog and show that it will not interfere.

D'oh! I got the two mixed up 🙂 But that's what I meant, lol….

Most of the lure trials we attended were ASFA trials....I think we did do practice runs at ONE AKC trial, but Jibini was less than 1 year old so I am pretty sure thats why we never did a JC "qualifying" run.

I'm tempted to get back into it now that I have my own "pair".....but it always seems money is an issue that makes a 300-400 mile weekend jaunt a bit out of reach!! I also found it disheartening that there were so few Basenjis entered in Florida lure courses, and among those I met, nobody had dogs who could run with a strange dog.

However, I enjoyed the time I spent at Lure trials and letting Jibini run....it was fun, even if we didn't get any "alphabet soup" for Jibini's name!!! Defintely an experience well worth it 🙂
