I agree with Pat. Its best to put the crate in the bedroom where you sleep. It helps if the puppy can see you so they feel safe. In the old days, we used to use a windup alarm clock because the rhythmic ticking reminds the puppy of the mothers heart beat. Of course you do not want to put it in the kennel/crate, but you can put it on top or next to it so the puppy hears the sound. You might be surprised, but another thing that can work is music. I do not mean rock and roll (lol), but soothing soft music can help. You want to make sure the bottom of the crate, towel, pad, or whatever is on the bottom remains dry. A wet cushion, towel, or bottom of crate can put a basenji puppy in distress and will eventually cause them to scream. They do not want to be trapped in the crate if they have an accident.

Thanks. Sophie loves to run, she is just like both her parents. Right now she is going through a whopper of a false pregnancy but didn't let that get in her way of chasing those bags. She thoroughly enjoys herself out on the field and is a joy to watch.

The ASFA standings for 2008 just posted to the website. So I guess I should add that Sophie finished the year as Number 8 basenji in ASFA followed by her mom, Rally, at Number 9 and her half sister, Rio, and half brother, Cole, both in a tie at Number 20.
