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 Field Champion!

This past weekend at the WVBC AKC lure coursing trial, "Remi" (FC Emerant's Heez Reminiscent SC) finished his Field championship with 2- 5 point majors! He also earned his SC title. We are soo proud of this young man
Remi is from Lisa Hart of Emerant Basenjis. His mother, Dora, competed and brought home 5 points towards her FC. A littermate brother took home 6points and a littermate sister took home 8 points with a 5 point major and a BOB! All in all, Emerant Basenijis came home with 32 points and 3- 5 point majors.
