Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.
Hi from Molly my 10 months Basenji

Hi All, I have a red and white 10 month old Basenji I got when she was 8 weeks old, and wow it was just like having a new real baby. She is a full time motorhome dog and everyone in the park thinks she looks and walks like a racehorse. She loves all the people and dogs around and wants to play with everyone. We are so glad to find this forum on Basenji's, Molly is our first Basenji and we didn't know what we were getting in for. lol. She is a love. Hi to all.
