key to unlock the full potential...

Rated 5 out of 5
May 29, 2013

Having owned other breeds previously I have found that not all previous dog experience worked as well with a Basenji. Basenji Savvy has helped me by giving me a key to unlock the full potential of fun, love and respect a Basenji brings to the family unit.

This program will give the information to make the training easier and correctly. The emails seem very caring and detailed. I don’t think we would have any success without the savvy program.

It has been brilliant to have Basenji Savvy constantly there to refer to like a training manual. And although I haven’t used the email support yet it is great to know that there is help just an email away.

Has made our transition with the new puppy smoother due to the understanding of the needs for this particular breed as opposed to other pets we have had. He is unique and keeps us on our toes. You have helped us to realize what to expect and then how to handle it. Thank you.

Basenji Savvy gave a great insight in how to prepare ourselves for maggies arrival. (a 11 month old Basenji). And since her arrival the chapters have helped us deal with the stages that are typically Basenji.

I was having some small problems training my puppy and I thought if I could find something very specific to Basenjis maybe I’d find what I was doing wrong. I found Basenji savvy and haven’t looked back.

When we saw our Jacie we fell in love with her, However I have many people raise their eyebrow at me when I would tell them she was a Basenji. I came home and immediately googled about Basenjis to do a crash course. Your site was the one that I felt was straight forward and not trying to get you to sign up with catches. I love the advice you give me weekly and look forward to it.

Basenji Savvy has been invaluable in helping us understand a dog breed we knew very little about prior to reading the book. The information and emails have given us a good start in a training program for the family and our dog.

We have found the information very helpful. With two young children, 9 and 5, we decided it was time to add a family pet and Basenji Savvy reinforced our choice of pet with all the information about our newest additions (we have two brother Basenjis). Thanks for the updates – they are a constant reminder of important things to consider.

Basenji Savvy gave us new ideas and confidence with controlling our young Basenjis. It has particularly helped improve problem areas with our male Basenji who despite being a very loving dog can often think he is higher up the order than he actually is!

Miley is very settled and sociable...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 24, 2013

The thought of a Basenji specific book really appealed to us even before we got Miley. I didn’t get it straight away though. After having Miley for a couple of weeks we knew we needed some help. Basenji savvy has been most helpful in the fact it has reassured us that what we are doing is right and just to keep going. The emails every few days come at just the right time. And we feel more confident with her training. As a result Miley is very settled and sociable. And so far so good we haven’t encountered the same problems that other Basenji owners report.

Basenji Savvy presents training in an easy to follow step by step process, this made it very easy for me to work with my Basenji to accomplish the task. Within two short weeks just 10 minutes a night my Basenji is sitting, staying, lying down, and rolling over. He waits patiently while I prepare his dinner no jumping or begging. Thanks Basenji savvy.

April 24, 2013

Everything in the book is brilliant, we have had Bobbi for 2 years and although she is the most loving dog we have ever had she can at times be a typical Basenji and be very stubborn and mischievous, the tips in the book have helped enormously with that especially when out on walks and now that we have rescued Flyn a 6 month old Basenji Savvy has become our bible, Flynn and Bobbi are now harmonious and so is our house!!

Having been a previous Basenji owner it was useful to refresh my memory of the behavoural characteristics of the breed and also how to overcome things before they happen. With the advice in the books & updates this time I should be able to avoid some of the disasters of last time.

price seemed very competitive...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 24, 2013

What first attracted me to this website was the breed specific information about Basenjis. The price also seemed very competitive. By now, I have read and re-read most of Basenji savvy. I love the regular emails regarding training and help however. Sometimes, with our busy schedules, we forget that little 5 or 10 minute training routines work best with puppies. The regular emails from Basenji Savvy reinforces this for me. Finally, the immediate response from the team is pretty impressive.

As new puppy owners, we had to train ourselves first. We had to be consistent and really make an effort to train our puppy just the way Basenji Savvy stated…and it worked.

I was getting very frustrated with our puppy’s training, nothing seemed to be working. I got Basenji Savvy and it seemed to open a whole new world for us regarding him. He is now happy, productive, mindful and playful, on our terms, not his. I love the email updates we receive. It keeps us updated on all the new information, and information we may have overlooked.

The time & effort saved by reading your books on Basenjis alone, has helped me immensely. nothing worse than wondering through dog books, & magazines, it is wonderful to have someone as dedicated to the breed to help novices to clearly understand and appreciate so a long and loving connection is locked in from the beginning to hopefully a very long long life. I am so glad for the health tips, as I am on a fixed income and you are helping me in the long run with the knowledge of prevention.

I was a little overwhelmed when I first tackled owning a Basenji. I had always wanted a Basenji but had never owned a dog before. My roommate has two dogs, so I took my turn taking care of them, but I knew owning my own dog would be more of a challenge. I really didn’t know where to start, but then I ran across Basenji Savvy, and pretty much all my questions were answered, and any that arise that the book can’t answer, answers and support are just an e-mail away!

I found Basenji Savvy when I googled about information on Basenjis. I have had 2 Basenjis before, the last one being a rescue, so when I was getting a new puppy I wanted to make sure that I was doing all I could to make him a fun, social and well trained dog. Basenji Savvy has been instrumental in me achiving this. I only wish I’d had this sort of help with my 1st rescue as the ease and joy of owning this breed is so much better.

One of the main reasons I chose a Basenji was because we love hiking and I wanted an active and athletic dog. Unfortunately, KC decided that he wanted to do his own explorations and on a couple of occasions I was left looking for him for over 2 hours – I really thought we’d lost him. Thanks to your training tips and advice KC really listens to me now and always comes when he is called now. Thanks!

Until I read Basenji Savvy I didn’t realize quite how important pack hierarchy is to Basenjis – or how easy it is to allow them to be top dog! Since we’ve been following your advice, Scout has been a completely different dog. We have made more progress in the last week that we have been using your techniques than in the last 4 months of puppy classes.

Hi there. I normally can’t be bothered to give feedback on books I read but in this case I felt I had to pass on credit where credit’s due… It was great to find a guide just about Basenjis and I really feel it’s made a huge difference to my relationship with Charlie. I’d say I can read his mind, know how he’s feeling and how to respond to his behavior. He’s turning into such a lovely dog and I can’t imagine life without him or your advice.

I thought I would drop you a line to let you know that after just 4 short sessions with my 8 week old Basenji pup ‘Archie’ he can now sit and stay on command and without hesitation. He also comes when he’s called! Your step by step training lessons are so easy to understand for me and ‘Archie.’ I am so proud of him and myself. Your guide makes looking after him a real joy. Thank you so much.
