Our Murphy is a bit pushy and used to bark/growl at us for attention. Our trainer recommended either ignoring him or putting him in a "time out" (away from you in another room, or leashed up to a...

I'm loving this thread! We have a basenji mix, Murphy, and they are VERY curious dogs... selectively obedient as well. Our apartment is a lot more organized than it was in pre-Murphy days. He'll go...
I read somewhere that if your dog has an "accident," put a paper plate with some dog kibble on the spot that he peed, and let him eat it. Dogs won't want to eliminate where they've eaten.
Anyone...
We have this problem with 2-year-old Murphy, too. He'll often jump up and nip at our hands or the sleeves of our shirt. Usually we say "no bite" and immediately walk away, ignoring him. He stops and...
I'm a little worried about Murphy, our 2-year-old shelter rescue. We think he's mostly basenji, and we adopted him five months ago.
He's mischievous, but smart, and it's only recently that we've...
lv4dogs gave some great advice! Our Murphy is almost two, and he sometimes chews on things--plants, CDs, catalogs, socks, etc. He is not crate-trained (never took to it), and we don't have a yard...
Our 2-year-old dog Murphy "bites" hands and feet, too (not super-hard in aggression, but just in play). He also bites shirt sleeves (while you're wearing the shirt). Yelling OUCH doesn't work too...
Hi all,
Just wondering how many times a day you take your dog outside. Our Murphy (two-year-old basenji mix) goes out 4 times, sometimes 5 on the weekend: first thing in the morning, midday, after...
I'm a big proponent of dog parks! We live in the city and don't have a fenced-in yard, and our Murphy is part basenji and CAN'T run loose...so this is his once chance to be off-leash and play. It's...
I did a search and found this thread. Our basenji mix, Murphy, can be a terrible tugger on his walks. He can barely breathe, he pulls so hard! This only happens sometimes, but when it does, it...
You can see "Frasier's" dogs (and read about them) at www.kelseylive.com. He has two basenjis and another dog...not sure of the breed. The black and white one, Zen, looks almost EXACTLY like our...
Congrats on making the decision to get a dog! We just adopted ours, Murphy, a few months ago. We found him at the city shelter by using www.petfinder.com, a truly great resource.
Murphy is a mixed...
How about a basenji?
Hi all,
We've just discovered that our rescued-from-the-shelter dog Murphy is actually a basenji! Well, *mostly* basenji. He has almost all the basenji traits in both his looks and his behavior....
Hi Berber!
I know this must be a really frustrating time for you. We recently adopted a 2-year-old border collie/whippet/pitbull terrier mix from the shelter and have been dealing with some...
Thanks so much, everyone! Trisha, I'll be sure to check out those articles. G-Diddy, I'll be emailing Mrs. G-Diddy. ;) I think we'll try hand-feeding him at times, too.
Last night we enjoyed a...
Thanks lv4dogs!
Murphy is neutered already. We'll definitely teach him "drop it." He's pretty smart and can learn new commands in one or two days.
Maybe we should've taken him out this morning....
Murphy only lifts his leg if he's standing against something (a hedge, tree, fence, even a parked bike!). He'll squat if he's in the middle of the grass.
Now, if only we could get him to stop...
Hi all,
We've had our Murphy for two months now; we rescued him from the shelter and don't know anything about his history (he's 2). He's never shown signs of abuse and is very friendly and loving...
Tara! You're gorgeous! Congratulations! Aren't you a lucky dog...
I'm amazed to say that you look VERY similar to our dog Murphy...same markings and face...although I think you're a bit bigger...
