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.
New Puppy, My little Gracie

Geoff, all your Dogs are lovely, i've never heard of a Blue Tick Coon Hound before.
Your right Basenjis have beautiful neat feet, have you noticed that the two middle pads on each foot are joined at the bottom like a Wolves. -
What a beauty! Please keep posting those pics, I love her. We have a brindle boy but he is not as dark as Gracie.
