So you and your basenji love hiking? You can get some recognition for your hikes by registering with the Dog Scouts of America and recording the distances of the hikes you take. Go with a friend and work on your titles together!
This activity requires no special training, although your dog will need to become familiar with wearing a well-fitting pack.
Enjoy the great outdoors with your basenji. Even better, join your other friends and their dogs for a day on the trails. Basenjis love to explore new environments and sniffing is a great activity for your dog’s brain.
This activity requires no special training, although the difficulty and length of the hike should be appropriate for your dog’s fitness level and age.
