How do I stop my whining dog? It's getting really annoying? Desperate?

[Fat Linda]

Okay, so I have this whining dog that whines all the time where she's supposed to sleep in the family room. The family room is really big and we just want her shut in there. Why does she keep whining and scratching at the door? My mom doesn't care if he sleeps in the family room, but my dad does. Also, he whines A LOT when he's alone? How do I make him stop whining when he's alone? My mom is making him stop sleeping in our rooms. So sleeping with him is NOT an option. Even if we close our doors, he'll probably scratch our doors. Please help me? He doesn't like to be alone at all times.

Please understand that he is not sick and he's two years old. Is it normal? He only whines when he is left alone.
Oh and the thing is that she doesn't care to be cuddled. She just needs a person there. But when we leave the house, she whines, ALOT!
Actually, it's my brother and mine's dog. She love my brother more even though it's gone with his friends a lot. But I'm talk about the dog wouldn't care at all if it was left with a stranger. It just can't be alone. How can I stop this?
Sorry it's a girl.
We just got her yesterday and she slept in my brother's room.
My mom won't allow her to sleep there anymore.
She wants to leave it in the living room though.
Don't worry, she NEVER whines when we're around her. Only when we go away. I'm going to try to tie her to a leash in the living room so we know if she pooped or not. Keep the answers coming guys! I seriously need help!
Actually, the radio is really loud. She's so smart, she can actually TELL if it's human or not. I can't buy toys today, but I can tomorrow. I guess I just have to make do.

My five-month-old schnauzer puppy whines when she's first put in her crate. It doesn't matter if she's alone or if there's people there, she still whines for the first five minutes or so and then stops. Here's what we do when we have to leave her home alone: Put her in her crate and put the radio on loudly enough for her to hear. She will think it's our voices and not whine. That might work for your dog, too.

She has a separation anxiety and wants to be with you.
Just give her some time and she should wear it off and act normal.

Is it a he or a she, because you switch a lot.

It sounds like your dog has some severe abandonment issues or maybe she is sick. I would recommend placing a loud ticking clock in the room and maybe some old clothes, blankets, toys, etc. so that the dog feels comforted by a "heartbeat" and other familiar smells. She needs to learn that you all will come for her and that she doesn't need to worry so much.

I had a dog that whined constantly, even when we were in the room with her. I took her to the vet only to find out that she had a severe medical problem that kept her in constant pain. If the dog has only started doing this behavior, then there is something wrong; you need to remember that she's not whining constantly just to piss you off. Try to find the source of her problem, and then everyone will be happy Good luck!
