List of tips for a qimmiq/basenji dog

For a qimmiq

Try doing quads. Qimmiqs are sport dogs, so doing quadrobics could make you feel more connected to them, you could also do any sport

Use scarfs. Qimmiqs have thick hair on the neck. So using a scarf could mimick that.

Use thick clothing. Again, qimmiqs have thick fur, so using thick clothes could mimick that.

Since this dogs are working dogs, doing some sort of cardio could help you feel more connected to them.

If you can, spend some time in the snow. This dogs are from the artic, so spending time with snow could make you connect more with them.

For a basenji

Try to get some fidgets to bite. This dogs are playful and curious and like to destroy things when little, so go wild and do the same (with some fidgets and toys).

Try to mimic the characteristic personality of this dog. Act more curious, loving, quiet, alert, energetic, confident and playful.

Try some vocals. The main characteristic of this dog is it's "bark", so trying to mimic that could help you connect with this kintype.

Try some hide and find games outside. They can be as simple as finding a red car or as difficult as finding a plant of a certain type. This dogs were bred to hunt, so doing something similar may help you feel more connected

If you want, use tight clothes that mimic your fur color. This dog's fur is not thick (like the qimmiqs) so using tight clothes could feel right. (I don't recommend this if you have species dysphoria)
