Crate for sleeping at night should always be in the bedroom with their people. Should be close to the bed. I use wire crates and typically have more than one Basenji so the crates are all next to each other, but still in the room we sleep in. If an only Basenji should be next to your bed that that your pup knows where you are and you can dangle your fingers in the crate to assure them you are there. And cover the crate to make it more den like. Agree with a "crate buddy" stuffed big toy... and this crate buddy should only be used in the crate at night. I have never had any of my Basenjis sleep in any other room other then the one I sleep in. I also agree that in a car any dog should be confined in a crate, period.

I have tried to bring my B to other houses with dogs but she tends to not get along with them. Or the fact that my B has so much energy the other dogs have enough and mine just won't stop. Do anyone have any suggestions? It will take my dog at least an hour and a half to settle down.
If they are outside it is usually OK but to bring the dogs inside it becomes very territorial. My dog usually causing the issues.

can you describe exactly what her behavior is? This will help to give suggestions. Have you but her through any obedience training?

The more exercise you can give the dog, the better she will be. Walk her at least an hr 2 times a day…
A basic obedience class is also required to help her learn her manners.
Good luck.
