Good looking dog. I have 2 basenjis that are crate trained. They are very good about going out, but sometimes (being dogs) they get into something and have an accident... the looks on their faces is just tragic.

Training is everything with dogs. Spot has never "gotten into anything". He quickly learned "table manners" and sits or lays patiently for what he knows is coming. I don't let him down. I give him tidbits, but usually put my plate on the floor for him to "clean". I could leave a steak (or anything) on the table or counter and leave for hours. It will be there when I return. He will sniff to know what's there, but will not go further.

As for dogs and their emotions. There wear them on their faces...

My favorite pic! Spot and "Baby". He's looking at me "again?" Baby lasted over two years of chewing and throwing. Couldn't replace either.

Ok, you figure out how to train basenji’s let me know.

[WVKayaker]

Did you ever train a Dalmation? I've never had a basenji, only saw them. Are they stupid? Spot's very hard-headed, but so am I! :>)

They’re way too smart and willful. They’re unchanged for thousdands of years and adapted to surviving in the Congo, where they are used to run down small game.
