Q&A:
Why does my dog whine all the time, when they are okay?:
Reasons Why:
1. Physical needs- Rule out any medical injuries or illness
2. Mental needs- Anxiety and stress or outdoor distractions can cause whining
3. Attention and Boredom needs-frustration from lack of exercise,attention and activity
How To Minimize Whining:
1. Ignore the Whining- no eye contact, turn your back, or remove yourself from the space.
2. Don't scold- to a dog, any attention is better than no attention
3. When giving attention, have your dog sit first- resets the focus elsewhere
4. Reward calm behavior- reinforce good behavior, your dog will associate with it positively
5. Plan ahead for prevention- have toys, chew treats, puzzles etc. available for distraction.
MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS PROPERLY EXERCISED!!!
