@nick4 I am in the "Basenji Zone" as well. I have done the putting her in the crate and then walking away while I talk to her and then letting her out and then back in again and I do the same thing where i will step out then come back in again. She does best when i leave her a good greenie for her teeth and I step out really quick she got used to it. Also I had the shower problem I even went as far as bringing her into the shower and to my surprise she did not care and i used it as a way to get her comfortable with the water....then i slowly gave her water from the shower talked to her while I was in there and peeked out the curtain every now and then and she got a lot calmer. I dont know if any this would help. Just wanted to share!

For OJ's entire life, his favorite thing was stealing napkins off peoples laps…. now that made for good dinner conversations... and he was so quick.. most of the people didn't have a clue where/what happen to their napkins....
Nala too…she's a stealthy thief...no one even knows it's happening until you hear her shredding it under the table...We warn people that they can't be "sophisticated" in our house - they leave the napkins on the table" LOL

Great photograph! our bathroom doors have to be kept shut too, or Tilly is right in there.
If you take her into the bathroom with you (because she cant be trusted on her own) she can also chew the crotch right out of your pants (without giving any indication of what she is doing) while you are in situ…. thats a difficult one to explain lol.
-
I know, Bana our foster did that too…the crotch eating part...Otis has not done that ..YET..LOL.
Yes , napkin stealing is a favorite sport here as well, and quiet..like the wind..

My rw Ringo didn't steal dinner guest's napkins but he would just suddenly spring up in their lap and scare the crap out of them. Then we start laughing.

Now that is talent LMAO I love that even the cardboard is gone classic basenji
Mine dont bother it if it's on the holder, but if the other half leaves it on the sink and doesn't but it one the holder then it's fair game, never figured that one out LOL then I go in to find toothy toilet paper

Very funny! Poppy has only destroyed one practically new dog lead today.
She only goes into the bathroom supervised.

My husband's b/w met him at the front door when he came home from work with a trail of TP from the bathroom to the front door without breaking it. Pretty funny, I don't think I could have done that if I tried. They sure do love TP and Qtips, quite the basenji obsession

:D:D:D only just seen this thread, it's so funny. Love the half toilet roll that was left, how considerate:D
Benjis party trick would be to drag clothing from the laundry basket downstairs when we had guests, particularly undies. You then had to chase him red faced all around the house and wrestle them from his jaws. He also loved to make crotchless undies:o -
Otis brought crothless panties back into fashion..like we say, he brought sexy back..:D:D
-
That is just to funny having to chase the dog with underware and guests. At least you had something to talk about that night that was different.
