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.
Meet Kilo-Georgia K9's New Narcotics Detection Pup
-
I would like to formally introduce Kilo to the Basenji world. He was our pick of our working basenji litter. Kilo was thoroughly tested for working traits for scent detection. He is nine weeks old and begins his formal training now. This training will consist of environmental desensitization, puppy play groups, lots of play related to detection, and his first odor introduction. This is pic is of Kilo meeting Valco, a wonderful GSD owned and handled by our Kennel Master, Phoebe Bault.

What big jobs for such a little guy! I am sure this "chosen one" will rise to the challenge. Looking forward to updates.

Kilo is a great name for a drug-sniffer, hahaha! He is gorgeous.
-
What a beautiful little pup! I'm sure he will rise to the challenge he has before him. More and more we see reports of these agile little geniuses being chosen for this type work as they can fit between things and walk with delicacy through piles of luggage, etc.

That's wonderful! And he is just beautiful. Thats great that he will be able to work and use his mind like it should/could be used. Please keep us updated.
