Lucy the Basenji - About Us

Spicer Pro, LLC is a video production company in Maryland. Video and film production has been my passion for over 40 years. My name is Bill Spicer and I began my career at a local ABC television affiliate as a news cameraman in the 1960's. I founded my television production company in 1975. A thousand TV commercials and corporate communication videos later, I am still going strong.

I adore my dog Lucy, so I combined my experiences with my film making capabilities, and this informative video was created. It is not dry and dull, but a comprehensive and fun program. It includes a description of the breed and why Basenjis are hard to train. Lucy and I demonstrate her tricks and commands, and explain how each was accomplished. I discuss some wonderful pet products that makes life with Lucy a delight. Demonstrations of housebreaking, walking and crate training are also included.

Bill Spicer trains Lucy the Basenji on DVD Basenjis are small, short-haired hunting dogs from Africa. The most recognizable characteristic is their tightly curled tail. This is not a dog for everyone. Basenjis crave attention and do not like to be left alone. Patience, tolerance and a good sense of humor are requirements for Basenji owners.

Lucy is my shadow and the section on bonding is a touching peek into why we are so close. Consistency, routine, trust and patience contribute to successful training. This is a video the entire family will enjoy. The production value is excellent and the DVD is designed to both educate and entertain.
