Have you read Control Unleashed? There was a blind basenji that would go up to sniff a human and then would nip. So they taught this pup a sniff then retreat type of behavior. The Look at That game, whiplash recall, mat work, off switch game are great for this sort thing. I think the basenji was talked about a lot on the CU list about a year or two ago, you may want to join and check the archieves.
Haven't been on this site in a while

She might do better with the crate if she had a companion
Is she your only dog? I think I see another one in your avatar. If so, do they both get crated by each other? I have always thought that Bs do better when they have constant companionship–either canine or human.... -
Nali ….... the other dog in the pictures is my girlfiends boxer and we don't live together so its just Cali and I

Nala was never really fond of her crate either. It got bettter with age. There are some great threads about starting from scratch with crate training.
Cali sounds like a sweet, well behaved B though! Another might be nice for her…a male, though would probably be best. Let us know what you decide!
