Exercise is essential for these hunting dogs. Although daily walks can be enough for some, others may require more vigorous exercises. Basenjis and children raised together can tire out each other.
Leaving a Basenji alone in the yard isn't a good idea. They're good at escaping, so they're prone to get lost. Condo or apartment living can do well as long as you give them a 30-minute walk or playtime. Except when you're in a well-fenced area, keep these dogs on the leash. Don't be confident with any fence, too— chain fences can be a ladder. If you're considering wooden fences, place the smoother side inside (facing the dog), then put electric wires on top. Like cats, Basenjis aren't fond of the rain. Expect your dog to get grumpy when you try to walk them out in a wet environment. Basenjis may only tolerate being wet when the weather is really hot.
Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should require a visit to your veterinary clinic Aurora, CO for proper medical attention.
