    bboy, i think he had previously been sleeping on his face!

    when people talk about basenjis not being good with kids i just can never agree. some arent
    but this is how i grew up and no matter where my kiddo crashes for the night he and fender insist on laying all over eachother :)

    That pic of the three of them…....so cute.

    If kids are taught how to live with and respect any dog, there shouldn't be a problem.

    I know I can't sit or lay down anywhere without having them all wanting to be on me, or at least touching me.:)

    It's one of the most appealing aspects of the Basenji for me.....that they love to be with you.:cool:

    I agree Bboy, our Sahara is the same way, she has to touch you in some way. We love this about her, sometimes she will just reach out and touch your hand with her paw, just to make contact. I love this breed, I have never seen any other dogs do the same.

    That 1st pic, with Fenders leg pushing himself into childs back? That is how Duke does it. If he's in between me & hubby, one of us gets the pokey paw in our back. Feels good if he pokes the right spot, like a mini-massage. These are real cute pics.

    That is PLS ….or Pokey Leg Syndrome....it appears to be stronger in puppies, and the symptoms ease with age ;)

    To those of you that are having problems with mouthing, holding the muzzle is not a good solution. Substitute a toy for your "body parts" or totally ignore the pup and the minute that the pup settles down, praise.

    When I got Maggii and OJ (my first two Basenjis) we had a cat… he never swiped at the Basenjis with his claws, had he I think that the male (OJ) would have been better. While my Maggii was the really the least bit interested in the cat, OJ was a mess... he was for sure that it was there for his plucking pleasure... They did finally figure out that he was part of the household, however if he ran, the chase was on... always... so much so that he lived on one side of the house and them on the other.... He (the cat) didn't really mind as he had his own kitty door to the deck in the master bedroom that was on 2nd floor and could come and go via the property fence. Maggii did play a game with the cat... she would lay in the back of the yard and wait for him to come walking along the fence, she would wait till he was on the gate, run as fast as she could and hurl herself against the gate, which would rock back and forth and see if the cat fell in the yard... Needless to say, we nailed that gate shut (there are more than one)

    I hope so too! Ive also started some training sessions together. Like having them both Sit (they will sit next to each other with no issues). I use a Clicker. Ill have them SIT and they both sit…ill click and they both get treats (a SMALL piece of hot dog). Kind of to teach them that being near each other can be rewarding. So far its worked. They can be inside the house toether with no conflict either. One will be on the couch near me the other in the recliner. The only tension is if one comes over to sniff the other. But neither snap anymore cuz when one growls the other heeds the warning and backs away. I love having another B around...they are like Potato chips...you cant have just one lol

    sort of. The friend of mine who worked with the chimps said they were very poorly funded and were in need of a lot of things OSU wasn't able/willing to support anymore. It must have been horrible for her since that was her lifes work and I am sure they were her "babies"

    The fast solution is simple and not pleasing… but papermatching WORKS. http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/tplo-normal.html Take a paper match and wet the head of the match in your mouth for a few seconds. Then take the match and insert the head end first into the dog's rectum. Make sure part of the match is hanging out. Within a few seconds the dog should start to get into the position to poop and be successful at doing so. (I had to do this for Darby for about 2-3 weeks)<< So you papermatch and praise like crazy. As for tying him out, most can chew through MOST lines so I would be careful. Better to papermatch til he will go on command in your own yard. Also, how secure is your yard? Can you put him out while you are getting son ready for school alone? However, getting up a bit early to MAKE him potty, THEN secure him (get clips on cage so he cannot escape!) in crate while you take child to school, is better. Btw, 2 wks is a short time, it will all come together! :) Debra
