Puppy whining - How To Deal With It

Whining is instinctive to puppies when they are hungry, tired or cold. Mother dogs provide a safe place to sleep, warmth and milk for their pups when they whine. 

Over time, your puppy will begin to connect the two actions and will start to whine about the purpose. This tells the mother that her puppy wants something, or there is a problem. 

A puppy should be adopted between 8 and 10 weeks old. It is at this point that the puppy realizes that whining does not have any influence on their new family, or they can use whining to influence their new mom (thanks!) To give them what they want. 

Therefore, it is generally assumed that a new puppy to be left on its own for the first night is his new home. If you respond to your puppy's whimpering with kindness, cooing, hugging, your dog is sure to believe that whining will get him what he wants.

Naturally, this will require good discernment and common sense on your part. A nervous puppy will require love, comfort and attention. The secret is to respond quickly, so he does not believe that puppies whining is what got the desired result. Puppies should not become accustomed to howl every time they want something. 

You must teach your puppy to be comfortable with insulation and protection of privacy by leaving him alone even when you're at home. This will help prevent separation anxiety when you leave home. Once you are sure that all your puppy's physical needs have been met and you took the time to get him used for insulation, then he learned that whining is not acceptable. 

This does not mean that a puppy who is very unhappy, whining and crying should be cruelly ignored. You should show him some love and help him to relax when the whining has stopped. It is not always possible to wait until the puppy has stopped whining altogether as some puppies will whine for hours. 

In this case you do not need to extend your puppy anxiety - as soon as he stops whining for even a moment, open the box door. Although this is far from perfect, it is likely to be the best you can do. 

Most dogs have outgrown the puppy whining when they are six months old. Puppies that are still whining after this time are likely to do it by instinct, or they have figured out that it will be them what they need.
