Thanks and yes I researched. All well - agree to disagree on dogs in beds.

I am giving him tons of love and commitment, etc. not 24-7 and he doesn’t enter the bedroom etc. he’s a dog. quite the condescending crowd.

I agree with 8 weeks was definitely too early. The dog will be fine. This is not an advice forum as fyi. Its a my way or highway column.

Hi all - brand new basenji owner here in Boston and all well like this new texas guy. Crate training difficult but am trudging thru. One seemingly impossible thing for now is I cant do anything, anything without him. I cant leave kitchen alone, go to the bathroom etc without him crying- not crying - screaming. He is 10 weeks old and ive had him for 2 weeks. Its beyond crippling for me as there are just certain things i need to do alone. for example my in home workout which is 30-45 mins. The dog screams and screams. Not sure what to do but its turned from me feeling sad for him to now me getting pissed (which I shouldn’t be i know). Just deal with it for now and it gets better? I take him on walks constantly- all else well. Is this just puppyhood? He shreds things all day, has accidents, etc and all that stuff is fine. I will have him in puppy classes soon (still needs some shots). But, this screaming when i leave his sight must stop. Must.
