...but should I stop it? I have given him some training at home and he is responding really well. He's barking drove me crazy so I've calmed that down so he barks for major alert only. Instead he whines but only when he wants to go out or if he sees another dog outside. Is whining a bad habit and what is the best way for him to alert me when he wants to go out? He has a strict routine but there will still be the odd time when he has drunk a lot and needs a break. Most often he will do this to wake me up (which is better than being woken up to frantic barking). What should I do if anything??
