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 barnhunt title

Took awhile as I struggled trying to understand Teddy's alerts (to the rat) but after taking a few classes (absolutely worthwhile) he finally achieved his open title - two rats in under one minute! -
Picture didn't load.....but congratulations Teddy!
-
Well done - but please - give me his name or his reg# so I can add the title to the pedigrees on-line database !
-
Congrats. Sounds like a fast Basenji. But yes, let's get that pic posted and the info to Sally!
-
Congratulations. But... Technically one has to fill out a form and pay AKC about $30 to have the barn hunt titles to be official and be listed as a title in their registered name. I just did this with my dog.

@wizard I have never heard of this. The Basenjis find and chase Rats? I never did any of the competitions with my B so all of this is a mystery to me.
I know the Basenjis are sight Hounds and they climb Trees. Mine did that more than once but the last time she did that she climbed too high and was afraid to jump down. She never climbed a Tree after that.
Schipperkes are used for Hunting Rats on Boats and Barges but I did not know the Basenjis do this too. Does the Dog kill the Rat? Fox Hunting has been banned in NJ where I live but they stopped using live Foxes and dragged a stuffed object that had been scented to smell like a Fox.
I know that people Hunt and I dislike it because the Dogs are Judas Animals. The BLM uses a Judas Horse to bait the Wild Horses so they are tricked into thinking the Judas Horse is from their Herd.
Congrats on your Teddy's win!
-
Wow, go Teddy! My girl Pippi can bring down two lizards in under one minute for sure. She's a great lizard hunter (but luckily doesn't kill them), here in Australia!
