How can I keep my puppy from barking and whimpering at night?
Posted on Dec 28, 2008 under puppy barking |We have a new puppy, who whines if you aren't petting or holding it. It is really bothersome at 3 am. I really need help. This our first house dog.
so in other words everytime it whines you hold it or give it attention? This needs to stop immediately! if you do not give it attention when it barks and whines it will eventually figure it out and stop. Praise the dog when it makes no noise at all and sits quietly. My dog did this too and it drove me nuts. he would sit in his bed and emit a high pitch whine that only a few of my friends and i could hear. DO NOT scold the dog or talk to it when it whines, still interprets it as attention
good luck!
