I had my dog since he was around 5 months old he was originally taken on by a couple who had him and his brother snd had no time for them. Since I've had him he has always been very whiny. He is now 5, I have 2 other dogs and his whining is no better and it's maybe getting worse. He will settle in bed. He will play with toys, but he will also happily stand in one place and whine and cry for ages. In the passed we have relied on some whines and cries e.g he will do this to go outside and we respond or he is fussy and will do this to ask for a fresh water if there's some bits in it 😅 He will whine and growls if you stop fussing, or he will just do it sat in one play so can only assume for attention. Last few weeks he has started in a night too around 4am, we came down the odd few times to make sure he didnt need a wee but he didn't and we've maybe made this worse. We have tried to ignore but it is getting too much now and turns into barks, it's like he's becoming frustrated we are ignoring and he's doing it more. He has walks every day, he has chews and treats to keep him busy but he will also rely on these and can sit next to the cupboard again whining, growling and barking for one . Please give me advice we can work on.. submitted by /u/Appthorn2 |
