Dogs that were fine in crates with other dogs crated next to them are not always happy to be crated on their own. My current boy had been very good in his crate for three years, but with 4 or 5 other breathing bodies close to him. In new surroundings at our house, he found the crate intolerable and ripped up everything inside it, while working himself into a frenzy. Even with a nice meaty bone, we found it impossible to leave him for any length of time. (we did not crate him when we were home) We weren't long working on leaving him loose, and except for a very few incidents he has not abused our trust….....in fact, he is the best Basenji I have had in terms of not destroying things. Interestingly, he is fine if we go out for a few hours, giving him a roller ball with treats as we exit. He is less happy if we are outside where he can see us. He wants to be where we are, which is not always possible, e.g. if one is mowing the lawn, blowing snow, etc.

I hope you've given him a suitable welcome home party -
Yay! Glad to hear Jack is home safely and that he didn't seem to suffer any setbacks by being away from home. Be careful until you can get moved. Looking forward to reunion pictures.

Its funny because he is being TOO GOOD lol. Like "PLEASE Mom, DONT send me back to Jail I promise Ill be good!!" LOL. No set back thus far. We went to the Dog Park today, He had a BLAST stretching his legs and He has been SOOO Pampered by his "Mamaw" (my mom is here visiting) and me and Aiden. In fact, He LOVES the attention from his Mamaw a little more than me i think, lol. He even got his toes painted today (we all did…not Aiden tho) Jack was embarrassed at the Dog Park Im sure! LOL. Ill be posting pics VERY soon I Promise!!! THANKS
