    Not taking sides since I have no experience in this matter; just pointing out: @jholsing mentioned... he has a basenji MIX. His dog may be more tolerant of the suggested set up? However, 8 hours is quite a long time to leave any dog alone.

    As I have said before, I work on the principle that I am bigger than they are and it is MY house. Make a tremendous song and dance about unimportant misdeamours and pretend to ignore the serious infringements. Then when the pack wants to punish me they do something which they know will get them the most attention - screaming and tears from me. But a bored Basenji will tend to destruction if there is nothing else to do. It needs plenty to hold its interest. Toys, bones, a companion.

    @codizzle1988 Was just a comment about Basenjis in general (backyard comment) It will take time to correct the bad habits, but know this, my Tri Girl can be found sitting in the middle of the kitchen table every now and again... she looks at you with a look that says "I can sit here if I want to"! One thing that a Basenji will do is teach people to pick up after themselves, if not it becomes fair game

    I ended up getting some Bitter Apple spray and that has so far deterred them from trying to eat it again. Now if I could only get a jug of it for when I try to load the dishwasher…...
