With a basenji it doesn't necessarily need to be separation anxiety. They do this stuff out of boredom too. Taking him for a long walk or doing something else to tire him out could help a lot…....a tired basenji is a good basenji. On saying that, our little one didn't get better about all this chewing, tearing, etc. until we got her a companion when she was 9 months old. Worked like a charm to have another dog in the house.
Music to help with anxiety

Saw this on CBS's Morning Show today. They tested it against other music and the dogs did calm down with this. They say it helps with anxiety, separation, etc. Might be worth a try. And how can it not be with the world best breed on the cover!

Very interesting, I think I'm gonna pick that up when it comes out

My aunt always plays the radio [classical music] for her 2 huskies & 1 pointer while she is at work. She swears that it calms them down & makes them sleep more during the day. Not so sure I buy it but…to each their own.

Very neat that a B is on the cover. It sounds interesting too…
