I forgot to mention that they can also be extreme houdinis. My female has learned how to manipulate the latch on her crate so I have to use a lock and she taught herself how to open the screen door. My friend had a male that could climb an 8 foot fence and escape. Be sure to check about such things when you talk with breeders or BRAT.
What does your Basenji do when he needs to go out?

Daisy noses my knees and makes a honking sound. She is persistent. Duke stands in the middle of the room and gives me the stare. Hard to ignore either of them - so they go outside.

She-Ra goes to the door, then looks over her shoulder at us.
Problem is, sometimes she's playing a game with us, where she just wants to see if we'll get up and open the door. We're putting a stop to that by putting her out forcibly if she starts to walk away so she knows if we get up to open the door she's going out. Period.
