Stop Your Dog from Whining
It is not unusual for people to have problems, particularly with puppies whining all
day long. Most puppies will outgrow this behavior, as it is only for attention and
when they are anxious.
If they want attention, they will continue to whine if that attention attracts a
reward. It is much better just to give your dog attention in the form of eye contact
rather than a reward to stop it from whining, as a reward will only encourage it to
whine all the more.
Often the best solution is to ignore the dog completely until the whining stops no
matter how long it might take. When the dog realizes that it is not getting the
reward it expects from whining usually it will tend to stop.
An alternative method is to blow a whistle when your dog is whining and when it
stops you stop. Often this method works faster than simply ignoring it.
Another reason why dogs whine is because they are anxious. Particularly when
nobody is around and they have separation anxiety. This can be more difficult, if
you are unable to find somebody to mind the dog when you're away.
Leaving your dog with suitable toys to play with, fresh food and water can assist,
and also getting it used to you being away by starting off with shorter periods apart.
Another method to stop your dog from whining is to buy a clicker from a pet store
and ignore the whining until it stops. Once the dog stops whining, wait for a few
seconds and then click the clicker, and then reward it in some manner.
The dog will soon learn that the reward comes from its silence.
