If they have a companion maybe.
Mine accidentally closed a door when it went into a room while alone.

Ate a hole through the wall to get out.

@cherif basenjis have thousands of years of instinct. In the wild, the alone basenji becomes a lions snack. They have to be with their pack or they die. A basenji will eat through a wall, or a door to be with their pack mates. You are way better off to give it a bed near you.

Mines eaten two giant holes in a wall and several doorjambs when separated.

Still the best companions I have ever had.

Mine have eaten many q-tips, washcloths, underwear by the dozens, 2 walls, 3 doors...
