Keeping Your Puppy From Whining
Finding a puppy that does not whine when you first bring him home is difficult. However, if you have a strategy to stop your puppy from whining that is easier. Everyone wants a puppy that doesn’t whine and many people don’t often realize that puppies grow up to be dogs and some of them even grow into big dogs. Like children, puppies also need to be trained and educated that whining isn’t an appropriate behavior. One fact that many puppy owners don’t realize is that most dogs end up in the shelters due to behavior problems, like a whining puppy. Owners have not properly trained their puppies at the early age can see how a whining puppy can become a barking dog. Barking and puppy whining can also be the main cause of conflicts between neighbors. The dog will bark in the middle of the night and the neighbor sometimes even call the police. In some cases a whining puppy can be the reason why puppies are abandoned or given away to shelters. All of this can all be prevented by some simple puppy training strategies.
A. Ignoring the whining puppy may sound insane at first but it is in fact a very effective method to stop your puppy from whining for attention. Don’t ignore the puppy will whine at first, then check in on him. Using a puppy training crate is a great way to teach your puppy to stop whining. For starters be sure that your puppy’s food and water dishes are always filled with clean water and given enough food. Once you have seen that food and water is not a problem, but your puppy continues to whine, close the door and let him whine. This may sound cruel, but the puppy whines to get your attention. Much like small children who throw temper tantrums, the puppy whines to get your attention. If you let the puppy whine, it will soon see that he is not getting the attention he is after, he will stop whining.
B. Rewarding good behavior is the next step after ignoring the puppy when whining. If the whining persists, you should occasionally come into the room and firmly give the puppy the “NO NOISE” command. When the puppy stops whining after hearing “NO NOISE,” even for only a minute, give him a treat. The trick here is to give him the treat right when he stops whining. Repeat the reward every time the puppy stops whining. The puppy will soon realize that when he stops whining, he will get a treat and will stop. This might take some time, but rewarding good behavior with treats always works. When the puppy stops whining, bring him into the room where you are and give him some attention. Then let him stay next to you. Puppies and dogs are social animals and they like your company. You are after all the pack leader. If the puppy starts to whine again, isolate him in his room and crate again until he stops.
C. Provide a negative reaction to the puppy whining. There are many different methods for negative reinforcement. A squirt bottle can be an effective teaching tool. Though some dogs like to go into water and others don’t, almost all dogs do not like to be squirted with water from a bottle. When the puppy whines, squirt the bottle at the puppy each time. Dog whistles can work great also. These are special whistles that make a very high pitched whistling sound that you cannot hear, but the sound is unbearable to the dog’s sensitive ears. Use the dog whistle every time the puppy whines. Another solution to stop puppy whining or any negative behavior is to “throw a party” anytime your puppy does what you want. For example, if your puppy isn’t learning the sit command. When he does finally learn it or sit on command praise your puppy in a rather exaggerated manner just to emphasis that he did a good job.
Training a whining puppy not to whine can be very easy and with the three strategies mentioned, you should be able to train your puppy not to whine rather quickly. Read More http://puppy-training-guide.net/
