    how can i make my puppy stop whining?

    we just got a new puppy. she's two months old, and she won't shut up! we've got two babies under three years old, and i mean this dog HOWLS at night in her kennel. not hungry, thirsty, or needing to potty. just not wanting to be in there. there is no possible way for our babies to sleep through this. what can we do?

    I had the same problem when I first got my puppy. My book suggested a ticking alarm clock. Its suppose to sond like the Mother's heartbeat and soothe the puppy to sleep.

    Get a wind up clock and put it in with her, also an old fuzzy slipper.

    When we crate trained our puppy at night, he would whine a lot. We read some training books and tried some things, but this is what worked best for us. Use an empty metal can and fill it with coins or dry beans, or anything that will make a loud noise when you shake it and seal off the open end with a lid, tape, or whatever works. Every time he whined, we would shake the can and the noise would surprise him, and he would stop. Eventually he stopped whining because he disliked the shaking can noise so much.

    Answer:
    Ignore the whining until he calms down.

    Reason:

    If you continue to come when your puppy whines then she will think you will come every time she cries. All dogs want is you so if you aren't with her, it is a punishment and will teach the dog to act how you want when she wan'ts attention.

    Try covering the kennel with either a blanket or large towel so she can't see out. Try putting on some music or a tv for her so she thinks she's not alone. If she isn't in the room with you, maybe that may help keep her quiet.

    One thing that I have always done for my new puppies is give them an old T shirt that I have worn. It gives them a sense of closeness to you. Im not saying it will work 100%, but it has worked on most of the puppies that I have had.

    Good Luck!
