It depends. I've never had to crate another breed forever, but my one basenji would get destructive if left alone.. the 2nd one would pee on my bed. So crating it was. However, I'm home so they were rarely crated. My current basenji is fine loose as long as she's alone. So like they said, do it slow, confine to an area that is safe and see how it works out. But if you need to keep crating, most dogs sleep far more than people.. up to 17 hrs a day. Just exercise before and lots after so they aren't bored.
Car rides, loose, crate or doggie seatbelt?

How can u keep them down. I really could not keep him strapped in, he wiggled right out of it.

It's funny how they get that basenji "sardonic grin" right before they puke!
I love it; not only is it amusing to look at, but it gives me time to get the bucket ready! LOL
LuzMery, maybe you're not using the correct size harness? Or not tightening it properly.

could be. it also took me a long time to figure out the harness. I'll try again, this time with my hubbies assistance. We want him safe.
This weekend my B was doing that sound right before they puke (gave him some rawhide bones) and I carried him to the bathroom and put his head in the toilet thanks to someone else's experience on this forum-sorry forgot who)and my daughter was laughing at me, but hey he threw up in the toilet and hopefully will in the future. I love how human they can be at times….really just like children!
