my puppy is fine at night does not whine as he sleeps in my bed . When I have to go out somewhere and cant take him with me I have to put him in a crate(he wines even if he is not in the crate) AND HE GETS ALL WORKED UP. ANY SUGGESTIONS! ! ! !
 
I read once and my friend did this with his puppy but he would throw his toys in his crate then put the puppy in it and walk out with out making it a big deal. I think the fact that he didnt pet it and say his goodbyes really helped. The puppy whined the first 10 times or so but he got use to it. Also when he would come home he wouldnt make it a big deal to get him out of the crate he would walk around a little bit and not make it a HUGE deal to see him. But after awhile there just too cute and you have to play. :) Thats all i got! good lick!
 
Make a dummy of you with a picture of your face stuck on it and some worn clothes on it (so it smells of you).
 
Give the puppy a kong when you leave, and only when you leave, it can be filled with peanut butter, or frozen and filled with yogurt, peanut butter, it will give the puppy something to look forward to when you leave, and it will in time correlate you leaving with getting the treat. Also, put a favorite toy or stuffed animal with the puppy always when you leave, that and the treat should help. Freezing the kong makes it last longer and gives the puppy something to do. It will stop crying do not make a fuss over leaving, or saying goodbye, don't say anything, just leave like it is not a big deal, after you put the kong or treat in with the puppy.
 
it seems your dog has seperation anxiety. you need to get him a congo ball and put something (a treat) in there to distract him while you leave. i had the same problme with my boxer he would cry and cry. people would think we were hurting him the way he cried. i got the conga ball thing and it worked like magic. i would just put a piece of beggin strip in there and it would do the trick. also i started taking him on longer walks before i left to work to get him tiered and relaxed cuz dogs are full of energy. i also stopped saying bye to him because he understood this word and once he heard it he would run to the door so when i would leave i would try to be as calm as i could be (cuz dog can sense your vibe and if you are all tensed up about leaving him and know he will freak out. most likely he will freak out) so try those. make sure you give your dog plenty of exercise.
try leaving a dirty shirt of yours inside his kennel for him. that way he feels like you are always around and he is able to stay calm
 
Desensitize. You need to teach your puppy that coming and going is not a big deal.

I suggest you devote a LOT of time to simply coming and going and coming and going... over and over and over again.

Keep goodbyes short and sweet. Don't even say anything if you don't want to. I choose to say "be good" when I leave. It's a term my dogs have learned that means "oh, she's going, we're staying, but it's okay, she comes back" (well, I doubt it means all that, but they don't freak out.)

Come and go and come and go... Stay out for ten seconds, fifteen seconds, three minutes, thirty seconds... etc... when you come back in, ignore the puppy. If he's calm and quiet you can pet breifly and calmly.

Stick with it, it'll work.
 
Practice with him by walking out a room and shuting a door, wait for about 3 mins and re- enter. when entering the room, don't give him any attention untill 1 min after you have re entered, this should work. Having your dog in your bed sends off the wrong signals, buy a baby gate and buy him a bed for his size and leave it outside the babygate at the bedroom door. this should work within a few days and he should stop whining. No matter how much he whines, never give in, he will give up. Good luck training him.
 
I wouldn't let him keep sleeping on your bed all the time. You should put a little bit of space between you. Try and put a little fence up right by your bedroom door, don't close the door, at least he'l be able to see you and he'll know you're still there even if he isn't in your bed. When you crate him (is he potty-trained) if he is, then take the fence I was talking about and leave him someplace where he won't be able to get into things but where if he pees, then it's easier to clean up. If he isn't potty-trained, you need to start calling his crate "home" and be nice and give him a treat whenever he goes in it. Leave the door open when you are home and let him get used to it, put some of his favorite toys in there. When you leave, put him in there, and say home, give him a treat, if he starts whining you tell him "no" and mean it, make sure it's stern. He should get trained to that as well.
 
lol i dont know....we have the same problems....but just tell him i'll be back...it works sometimes with me lol like my dog learns like when im putting my shoes on and doing my hair that im about to leave...so as you are getting ready you should say i'll be back...or give him a treat as you are leaving....
 
TV works great, but try to give him something that'll keep him busy for a long time, like a Kong that has hard to reach treats that he'll have to struggle with. If he's occupied, he'll miss you less. Other than that, it's just a growing pain...everybody goes through it.
