Basenji Information worth knowing
BASENJI TRAINING
The best hint is to be consequential with love.
First of all the puppy should be brought up in the Basenji-family with a natural first training. This includes the dogs father. Sorry to say the appropriate Basenji breeding is very seldom.

At a special age of the puppies, the Basenji father starts his training program. Meanwhile the Basenji mother is able to feed herself or to relax.

It corresponds to the nature of Basenjis to let them grow up with their parents at the breeder and maybe some Basenjis too. The rearing in the Basenji family is the first prerequisite for the development of genuine Basenjis. Any attempts by the young dogs to alter the pecking order are strictly corrected by their parents. It is later quite important that the new owners emphasize their “top dog” position just as strictly as the parents did. In this manner, the young dogs find their place in the ranking order with their owners.
If you want to keep more than 1 Basenji, the development of a pack structure is quite possible.
The new home
The Basenji Training is continued very successfully by the guest Basenji Anubar. Give the puppy the chance to meet other dogs.

When the puppy has to change homes and must be accustomed in his new family, some training helps are useful. You will find a specialist nearby: Puppy school, dog training school or an independent dog trainer. The specialist should have experience with the behavior of Basenjis. Start as early as possible to avoid any difficulties caused by modern civilization.
The first obligation of the owner of a new basenji pup is to establish who is the leader of the pack. The owner's clear and determined dominance will ease the pup into its proper place. The Animal Learn Method animal-learn.de is the best for Basenjis; to teach without punishing corresponds to my view of education. Your basenji-training should be always patient and consequential, based on the Personality of Basenjis, to avoid frustration and destruction. Find out your special rules for both owner and dog. This is remarkably as a owner of Basenjis, because Basenjis like to trick us. Observe his attempts to play and in doing so playfully train the young dog. Train them to stay alone to come back, when they are off their leash and to wait by open doors, especially by open car doors, because they will use any opportunity to escape. Because the freedom loving Basenjis should never be shut in, to confine them in a cage is a bad idea. It is better to take him for a walk; afterwards he is tires and not up to much mischief.
Train them like a play Exercise and observe his survival playing but don't expect an obedient "good dog". Please do not try to drill a Basenji. Drilling does not fit into their nature. But for Basenjis as well the adage is true: exceptions confirm the rule. But those trained dogs make me unhappy. Such Basenjis for are a sad product of a wrong upbringing.
It's my demand to all Basenji companion, to learn the basenji language that is composed of body signals and vocalizations. If you are prepared to learn the Basenji Language and to be able to communicate you'll get a pleased Basenji and that pmakes you very happy.
Please don't forget the history of the Basenjis and their homeland in Africa, then you understand my concern to respect the Basenji Personality.
