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.

Way to go, awesome Xander! It's beautiful to watch him run and he's a very deserving dog. It was a good week for the family, that was Roxie's 4th ASFA run, so she's now a Versatile Basenji.
I wish we could have watched the cousins run together, I'm sure that would have been a lovely sight. But with all the lure troubles and whatever was going on across the field, I guess we'll have to try again another time. lol -
ongrats on the VB. Hopefully Xman gets his GRC this month and can apply for VB. Hopefully next summer we can run them together. Poor Trog those 4 starts on the AKC runs at the nationals wore him out.
-
Thanks. Yes, poor Trog earned a well deserved rest after that one! But it all worked out nice in the end.
I'm sure Xander will get that GRC right quick and join us on the list. Happy running!
