Michelle, potty training when you aren't home all day is hard for anyone. Options include restrict to a safe room with a large pan with potty papers so the pup doesn't have to go in crate or places you do not have made easy to clean. Since they can only go about an hour per month without wanting to go, it's pretty hard up to about 5 mos if no one is home.

Have you thought about getting a behaviorist to work with her and the family? Many times any dog will be uncomfortable with toddlers …..
-
I would get her to a vet first for a full physical, thyroid checked by blood test and teeth checked. If the teeth are bad she may have gum infections which are quite painful. If she's sick she'll be irritable just like a sick person.
-
Have you contacted her breeder?
-
I'll ditto what's said – call the vet and the breeder (if you know) then a behavior trainer (if you can afford it) then BRAT. And here's hoping it all works out okay for all concerned.
-
I agree with all the suggestions to go with BRAT - very understandable that you fear for your child after all -
-
I agree with both points.
One-take her to the vet. I just had to have one of my 7 year old's teeth pulled. She has a check up every year, and last year she was fine. Something happened to one of her teeth in this last year. She was VERY grumpy.
Two-I just rescued a 1 1/2 year old male from BRAT. If you can't keep your pup, please, please contact them. They will find the right home for you basenji and make sure she is loved.
