HI All
Great to see there is a basset forum out there. We have had our basset for just over a week, he is 8 and a bit weeks old, and he is so lovely but I would like some advice on which games and training exercises should come first. I believe bassets like chase and retrieve games, is this correct?
He has pretty much learned to sit and we are currently bite training (using yelp and walk away and stuffing toy in his mouth methods). We were playing too much tug of war with him but have cut this right back as I think it was making him more aggressive and led him to bite more.
We are restricted to playing in the house and garden as he has not had 2nd injections yet so I think (mainly through tiredness on our part) his games sessions and training sessions can become a little tedious for him so can anyone offer some good advice on games to keep him interested, assist with training, tire him out and keep us both from getting a little bored please?
We love him to bits and want to make sure he has the best start in life!
