They gave me pain meds and anxiety meds. He is under the influence of the anesthesia, going to follow your advice, I took a week off to care for him.

Kylo does the same, he likes to lay in the patio and absorb every bit of heat

I got my Basenji neutered hoping it would make him less active and less reactive towards other dogs but after 3 months I’ve haven’t seen any changes. I still have to walk Kylo 4 times per day, and now I’m working with a trainer on the behavioral aggressiveness. I had a Boxer prior to my Basenji and on that breed it made him more calm and less reactive towards other dogs, but not lazy, just a little fat.
With Kylo I took a week off from work to take care of him.

Kylo is 7 months, he is coming home in a couple of hours, besides the after care package from the vet any tips for caring for my dog after surgery?

@corey_hebb said in New puppy?:

My questions are,
do you think I will be able to handle a basenji puppy on my own for that period of time? Or should a wait for my girlfriend to move in?

You can do it on your own.

would you be able to get a basenji to pee on an outdoor fake grass patch?

Yes, but you have to be consistent

tips for taking care of a basenji in Canada? (All I could really find was to our a jacket on them)

sweaters and boots. Try to find a mall or indoor walking facility, Basenjis need lots of exercise.

does anybody take their basenji camping? I know they can't be trusted off lead with their recall.

I don’t trust my Basenji off leash yet, but he has been camping and does very well. Get a long leash so your puppy can explore under supervision.

Hello I’m in MA, I have a Basenji almost 6 months old. Do you know of any good trainer? Or Basenji play groups? Is hard to socialize them during COVID...
