Trainability

Basenjis are intelligent, but they are high spirited and sometimes a little nervous by nature which can make them harder to train. Their training and socialisation needs to start early always showing a Basenji a lot of understanding and patience. It's also important to bear in mind that these dogs tend to form a very strong bond with one person which makes it easier for that person to educate them.

The Basenji is a sensitive dog by nature and therefore does not respond well at all to any harsh correction or training methods. They do respond to positive reinforcement and with patience they will learn the house rules and how to behave, although it would be fair to say that they might not win any prizes in obedience competitions. One thing to bear in mind when training a Basenji puppy is that if they have a bad experience during their education, they will not forget it. In short, great care has to taken when training a Basenji when they are young.
