I see my Bassets as politicians, everything is “what can you do for me?” They have the knowledge and ability to do just about anything, just not the desire.
My Basset knew over 40 commands and tricks. She was great at all of them, especially if we happened to be near the fridge. She was the best dog, so gentle and affectionate to everyone and everything ❤.
You've done well to train your Bassett Hound as well as you have, I know how stubborn they can be. They Are an amazing breed, and in my opinion are the funniest most entertaining dogs around!
Had 3 of them through the years & 2 Bloodhounds, they are all a trip, but need a lot of early attention and patience, baby wipes, & I used in the 70s & 80s, always had a wash cloth to wipe up the slobber & what ever else, but other then that the best of the best companions!!!
I raised my 6 year old basset from a pup and he is my best friend and I think I am his best friend. The first few years were hard and tricky. But now I take him on hikes, unleashed . He's still stubborn but mostly he knows who's in charge. I use similar tactics with him. Its a multi year long process of both you and your basset learning each other's ways. New sub. Thanks for the content.
I did not know how much so. Seems there’s even more of a bond because you trained her! Like she’s eagerly awaiting your commands so she can collect rewards for her obedience. Look at her posture after you placed her on the sofa! Paws and face say: what next Daddy, what next? Just too sweet.
Yes we use it daily. I hate when dogs beg while I'm eating at the table. Placing Rosie while we eat makes life a lot more enjoyable. She ends up just sleeping so it's a win win.
My old Basset Ben in the 80s woofed on command, shook a paw, sat, dropped toys, and even stayed put. Every other Basset I've had have had extremely selective hearing. He learned everything from a black lab, so I reckon that peer influence matters a great deal for them.
Awww Rosie is Beautiful. I have an 8yr old mahogany basset hound Lulu who is trained like Rosie & they are an amazing breed. Grocery day is lulu favorite day we call her the “bag inspector” once she inspects we can put them away
Yes you can our otis fetches,know when time to go to his house I get his treats in hand and say home he walks to it stands in the door looking and waiting for treats,he knows what no means and can other things also
I haven't seen any new videos I can't believe my pup is 9 months old already. She has been a joy to train also have her finding things. You should also point out that Bassets train best on a harness with a leash attached to the chest. Collars are not good for there droopy delicate throats.
Love this! Thank you for giving us this hope! I will definitely be happier with my next dog 😉 Plus: all her body language says: I love being the goodest girl for you dearest Pawpaw 🥰 and what a beautiful girl she is! Our former Basset girl had the same two black blotches on her back 😍
Thank you! Rosie is really a great dog and she's the best girl about 90% of the time lol! She's still a Basset Hound and can still be stubborn but she does love to please. Thanks for watching and sharing!
@@bassethoundcentral9622 Haha 😊 that sounds about like a real Basset! I really like that you show how worthwhile it is to channel the 90% in a meaningful direction though 😊
You give me hope :-). Picking you our basset puppy later this week. I’ve had 3 prior bassets and all were stubborn and hard to train but it was still fun working with them.
My Basset has soooo totally trained me. He knows back up and stay. He is very silly as he HOPS on all 4s back. Definitely the silliest Dogg I have had. BTW .. he rescued me.
Picturing the back hopping has me smiling because Rosie does the same thing! Whenever she’s excited she starts hopping all over lol. Thanks for sharing!!
I have a nine month old basset who was never trained the first 6 months of his life from previous owner! Now we’re training and still having potty training issues..
this video gives me hope that my Bassett can be trained and trained well. I'm wanting to train Bo to be an emotional support dog. any idea how I can get this done?
I’m not sure what’s involved with getting a dog certified as an emotional support dog. To me Bassets are just naturally ESD’s and Rosie is definitely mine!!
Potty training Rosie took a LOT of time and patience!! Early on it was just a matter of taking her outside every hour or so. Also watching her water intake and making sure she didn't drink too much just before bed. It took well over a year to fully potty train her and I would say it was the most frustrating part of training her.
New sub!! Love your channel. My dad and grandparents all had Bassets. When I was growing up we had one as well. As I venture into finding what my first breed will be (GSD/English Bulldog/ Basset in no particular order) I’ll be issuing these videos to help make my choice.
Those beautiful and long black ears!!! 😍😍 Do you have a dog school to recommend for training a basset hound puppy? I will get mine in a few months!!! 😍
At the time we lived near Louisville, KY and were referred to securesolutionk9training.com who was amazing!! I highly recommend them for anyone who lives nearby.
I have a brother and sister 4 month old pups. Absolutely adorable, happy and healthy. Am struggling with basic training, however. Will it get easier when they're a bit older? ❤
I bet they are so cute together!! Will it get easier? Probably not, they generally are stubborn their whole lives. BUT, if you can stick with it, find what motivates them, make it fun, and not give up it can work. Best of luck to you and enjoy those pups!!!
@bassethoundcentral9622 Thank you so much for your reply. Oh yes, they are super cute together and the entertainment value is priceless 🤗 ! Definitely food motivated, so we have a reward system around that. Luckily I'm blessed with patience and a heart bursting with puppy love! 🐶 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Rosie will come when she’s called but sometimes I have to call her a couple of times. Once they get a scent it’s hard to get their mind off of it. I use the leash primarily for my wife’s peace of mind. When I go to my sons farm I let her off leash because there’s only one way for her to escape and she can’t out run me 😂.
@@bassethoundcentral9622 thank you for taking the time to answer 😀 Rosie is such a a sweet girl and you have sucha a calm and pleasant way around her. It is a joy to watch. Maybe except the shedding video 🙄. I fell head over heels in love with a gentleman basset hound called Ricki (in a yellow rain coat). Ever since I met him I've wanted my own basseet hound.
train them to eat! whine until you give them a treat , take long daily naps and and want to go for walks in the middle of the night. YEA I loved mine , they truly are great companions and "CHOW HOUNDS"
Rosie did the same thing for about the first two years. I think it stopped because she matured but also because we decided to “ignore” her when we first come in. We let her outside right away, let her relieve herself, and then give her all kinds of love. This might sound mean but it alleviates frustration and it all transpires so quickly that she’s still excited to see us and she’s rewarded with just as much love. As far as when he bites that’s harder. It depends on if he’s playing or doing it aggressively out of fear or protecting his food/toys etc. If he’s just doing it when he’s playing the fix could be as simple as sternly telling him no and giving him his toy to chew instead. After awhile he’ll learn he can’t chew on his people just his toys. Dogs are biters when the play with each other so it’s normal for young dogs to do that to their humans. If it’s happening out of fear/aggression I would find a dog trainer in your area who is experienced with this type of behavior. The sooner the better and it’s money well spent for your peace of mind. I hope this helps! 🙏🏻
i have had many bassets in my life. i have never met a stubborn one. they don't need to learn tricks. it is disrespectful. they are fine just the way they are. maybe you should spend more time training yourself.
I’ll be honest, your reply is a little baffling. Your experience with hounds is unique and all your hounds must have been canine prodigies. Your opinion that training them is disrespectful is very interesting and perhaps a bit faulty. It’s a commonly accepted fact that all hound breeds are stubborn in nature. They were bred for tracking and hunting, both of which require the dog to be persistent and unwavering. Hounds are so notable for their stubbornness that we say people are being hounded when they are stubbornly pursued! I’d agree that they don’t NEED to learn tricks, but it is certainly another commonly held belief that dogs (and humans for that matter) benefit from discipline, exercise, and bonding. Teaching your dog tricks allows all three to take place. I certainly don’t see what harm this causes. In fact, most people with any bit of common sense would see helping another person/creature bring out the best in themselves as being kind and considerate. I’d agree that my dog is just fine the way she is, though! She is such a beautiful hound who loves to spend time working with me. Finally, your last statement was uncalled for, I can see you never trained yourself in manners. As for training myself, I agree that I should continue to do so. As an Army Officer, I train myself daily when I work out at the gym, attend various military schools and training exercises, and educate myself on canine care and behavior. I appreciate your concern for my well-being, however! I hope you continue to train yourself as well. There’s always more we can do to better ourselves but at the end of the day I hope you will learn to accept that people have different opinions than you and that we can all be respectful of each other despite this.
They have their own agenda man. When that sniffer is locked on something they turn deaf. I was able to train mine a lot easier when she was older and less excitable.
Teaching a basset to “stay” - ie just lie there and don’t move? Not particularly impressive. Teaching a basset to place on their bed and not beg at the dinner table? Now that’s impressive.
I see my Bassets as politicians, everything is “what can you do for me?” They have the knowledge and ability to do just about anything, just not the desire.
LOL I love it...so true!
Oh so true! 😃
My Basset knew over 40 commands and tricks. She was great at all of them, especially if we happened to be near the fridge. She was the best dog, so gentle and affectionate to everyone and everything ❤.
I love how calm and easygoing she is. A true gift from Heaven.
Thank you, she truly is.
Good job on training Rosie. My Bassets have done a better job of training me, rather than vice versa.
Basset Hounds have a way of doing that. 😂
Oh my word what a well behaved Basset. Well done. 🐾🐾
Thank you!
I like how peaceful they are and almost harmless like a golden retriever.
Me too!
they are so gentle, they love everything and everyone. literally angels.
These dogs are like living with a cartoon character
You've done well to train your Bassett Hound as well as you have, I know how stubborn they can be. They Are an amazing breed, and in my opinion are the funniest most entertaining dogs around!
They definitely are!
Adding a bassett to our family soon. This is helping me prepare for her. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello from the future! On a scale from 1 to yes, how 10 is life with a Basset? ;)
Had 3 of them through the years & 2 Bloodhounds, they are all a trip, but need a lot of early attention and patience, baby wipes, & I used in the 70s & 80s, always had a wash cloth to wipe up the slobber & what ever else, but other then that the best of the best companions!!!

She's a whole lotta Rosie!

Rosie is an angel!!!!! Well done, sir!!
Thank you 😊
Bassets love to please!!
Yes they do! 😊

What a good girl! The "place" function seems to be especially important!
Yes we use it daily. I hate when dogs beg while I'm eating at the table. Placing Rosie while we eat makes life a lot more enjoyable. She ends up just sleeping so it's a win win.
This is encouraging. Our second basset has her own mind. But I am working on it.
Rosie is so adorable and so very obedient
Thank you. 😊

Sounds like Ben had a great mentor in the black lab!
Awww Rosie is Beautiful. I have an 8yr old mahogany basset hound Lulu who is trained like Rosie & they are an amazing breed. Grocery day is lulu favorite day we call her the “bag inspector” once she inspects we can put them away
Bag inspector…I love it!! Rosie has a new job and title, she’ll be excited!
I wish you posted more videos
heck yea. mine is both a therapy dog & a service dog. 2 separate sets of skills & commands. you just need to know what motivates them
I bet your Basset gets a lot of joy from both!
all her moves are just adorable! My Seraphine doesn't show off her motivation or that is BH standard appearance.
Yes you can our otis fetches,know when time to go to his house I get his treats in hand and say home he walks to it stands in the door looking and waiting for treats,he knows what no means and can other things also
Otis sounds like such a good boy!! Thanks for sharing.
Do you have any videos showing how you trained her or the
Process?

Good luck! 👍🏻
@bassethoundcentral9622 if not always have extra member of the family still
We've put obedience titles on several basset hounds. It's not easy but it is an attainable goal.
Way to go!!
Great channel, great energy, great Rosie, have a good life ❤
Thank you! You too!
You give me hope :-). Picking you our basset puppy later this week. I’ve had 3 prior bassets and all were stubborn and hard to train but it was still fun working with them.
Hi Ryan,
Not heard from yourselves and Rosie!!
Hope Rosie and yourselves are okay.
Francesca
Awwweeee. We’re both doing great but busy. We’re getting ready to move to FL in a couple months.
I hope you don't think this too weird, but.... I really would like to hug your Puppy. (Phew! Glad I got that off my chest)
Lol!! Not weird at all! 😊

That’s awesome!! I hope all is going well.
I love how she mostly keeps her nose to the ground on her way to you. Just gotta get those smells in❤
A good looking Bassett and a good looking owner
😊
I have a nine month old basset who was never trained the first 6 months of his life from previous owner! Now we’re training and still having potty training issues..
Hang in there it’ll get better with time and persistence!! All you can do is do your part to set him up for success.
They are so worth everything, better than therapy!!! They are so funny and love being dressed up!
I’ve never dressed up Rosie but I’ll have to give it a try! 😊
Ok so how do you get them to trained! What do you do to get them to that stage of doing the commands?!
I love Rosie 🙏❤️❤️🤗😁❣️❣️❣️😘🇨🇦
Rosie is an angel 😇
Thank you!
Love this! I want one.
Lovely hound
Next you need a how to video lol. I would love to see the technique you used
Wonderful video, love to see Rosie.

Thank you 😊
No. But thanks for asking.
LOL
what a beautiful basset.
We agree!

How did you potty train Rosie?
Rosie is adorable .
I miss Bertie terribly.

Funny thing is. Bassets are very smart it’s weather they choose to obey you. They need to feel respected in order to obey you.
I've just started looking into Basset Hounds and I love your channel! And sweet Rosie

@@bassethoundcentral9622 it's been rough lately mine lost his ear dunno possum wild animal we have 4 bassets ther a chore
@@brandoncherry1651 lost his ear??? 😳😱
My Basset hound is mixed with Jack Russel, I've got him trained to go outside to use the bathroom but that's about it. Am I doing something wrong?
Not at all, that’s the most important one. The rest is just icing on the cake. Keep it up and the consistency will pay off.
The world lazy dog
train them to eat! whine until you give them a treat , take long daily naps and and want to go for walks in the middle of the night. YEA I loved mine , they truly are great companions and "CHOW HOUNDS"
Our basset is 1yo, and she's a good girl but she is very nippy, stubborn, and pulls on her leash.
Stubborn is typical but to deal with the other two issues you may need to seek out an experienced trainer.
The Title of this video throws out the RED FLAGS! 😂😂😂
😂
Only if they want to!
😂
I like your family's weapon rack 4:30.
Thank you! Nice catch BTW lol.
Just got a basset puppy!
Yayyy!
Why do you need to train us? The best command is open the fridge and blame that pesky cat that lives with me.
LOL!!!!
Rosie is pretty and chonky 😍
😂 very true!
Yeah right!
This is trick photography 😂
😂
Need help with my 6 month old basset boy can anyone help?
I can try and help. It’s easier if you send me an email as I may not see your message on here. Bassethoundcentral@gmail.com
There hope. We have 4 Basset hounds.
Can they become a Service Dog?
I would say I t’s possible depending on the situation and service they are doing. Seeing eye dog? No. Emotional therapy/support? Absolutely!!
Mine trained me to let her sleep on the couch and at the foot of the bed.
I love how they can’t stop sniffing lol
Lol, it’s non stop. 😆
my bassets give me commands lol
I have a 10 month old boy, he will pee in the house after coming in..and he likes to bite us a lot. Not hurt but still it’s annoying. Help guys
Rosie did the same thing for about the first two years. I think it stopped because she matured but also because we decided to “ignore” her when we first come in. We let her outside right away, let her relieve herself, and then give her all kinds of love. This might sound mean but it alleviates frustration and it all transpires so quickly that she’s still excited to see us and she’s rewarded with just as much love.
As far as when he bites that’s harder. It depends on if he’s playing or doing it aggressively out of fear or protecting his food/toys etc. If he’s just doing it when he’s playing the fix could be as simple as sternly telling him no and giving him his toy to chew instead. After awhile he’ll learn he can’t chew on his people just his toys. Dogs are biters when the play with each other so it’s normal for young dogs to do that to their humans.

Rosie is the best little girl. And so smart with her commands. She’s just a doll!🐶❤️
Thank you so much. 😊
her belly looks like cookies n creme ice cream😩😩❤❤

Why would you want to train one?
They are great just the way they are.
They have their own agenda man. When that sniffer is locked on something they turn deaf. I was able to train mine a lot easier when she was older and less excitable.
You’re spot on. Thanks for sharing!
They end up training you
😂 It’s definitely possible if you’re not careful.
Teaching a basset to “stay” - ie just lie there and don’t move? Not particularly impressive. Teaching a basset to place on their bed and not beg at the dinner table? Now that’s impressive.
Great distinction! 😆
Not without a good deal of bribery - and even then, only for as long as the Basset deems convenient.
Lol…very true!!
Maybe they just can't hear that good with those floppy ears.
I think you’re on to something! 😂
they are just like big cats, not trainable just like my boyfriend.
Lol
The Bassett is letting you think you have her trained.!
I think you’re right!!
