Much of this information I provided was based on research I made on Basenjis after having adopted one myself. Basenjis, in my opinion, make an amazing pet for those who are not looking for an obedient dog, but for one that has a mind of his/her own, and who has an intelligence unmatched by many . . . perhaps even your own! 6  out of 9 found this valuable.

I have a Basenji, Purebred, named Pete. I love him dearly. He is one of three dogs in my household and he loves them- lets them be dominant,simply because he loves the company. I've watched "The Dog Whisperer", and found it very helpful. On leash, I make him heel, and to get him to obey commands, I square my shoulders. Additionally, if he growls, I point at him and make a "SST" sound. He stops. I'd get another one in an instant, only I'd get him used to a Kennel right away, in additon to excersizing him regularly.
