I can attest that MY basenji is very different from a basenji at a show….. Not at all capable of being responsible enough to
be around that commotion....also, basenjis (to me) seem especially in tune to other dogs not keen on them...neutral ground and slowly are probably a good idea
Loose Leash Training a Basenji

Wow. I didn't realize it was so difficult to get Bs to walk nicely. I guess we had a lot of the "dirty work" done for us by the breeder. Joey, we got him at 10 months, walks superbly on his leash. I do need to remind him sometimes, but he gets back in line right away. The breeder tells me to be sure they know who is boss with every issue. I do see a difference with each of my kids that take Joey out and Joey knows who he can be tougher with and who he really has to listen to.
