Whining Puppy
Your puppy is howling, whining or barking for a reason. If the
problem is not resolved immediately, whining can become an
ingrained habit that is intensely irritating and annoying. Many
dogs use whining, howling, and barking as a means of vocal
blackmail in order to control their owners.
DO
-When confined to a crate or small room or pen, always give your
puppy the benefit of the doubt. When she begins whining,
immediately take her to her toilet area.
-Teach your dog to accept isolation and privacy. Accustom your
puppy to being left by herself, even if you are home.
-Make sure your puppy is comfortable. Is your puppy hungry,
thirsty, too hot, too cold, uncomfortable, sick, or has lost her
toy under the furniture?
-When you know that all your puppy's physical needs are met and
you have taken the time to accustom her to isolation, then teach
her that whining is unacceptable.
DON'T
-Do not give in and reward your puppy for whining.
-Do not hesitate to appropriately reprimand unnecessary
whining.
-Do not let your dog feel abandoned.
