my two year old lab whines when he wants attention. When he wants attention and i know he hasn't been given much, i will play with him. but after an hour or two of playing catch or going for a walk, he will continue to whine. i always tell him to stop whining and if there is something else he wants and he is whining, i will not give it to him. I don't want him to think that when he whines, he will always get what he wants. what can I do to stop this?
 
well im gonna make this easy and just state 2 of the main reason the iv seen helped or know of.

1.-dominace- dogs are very good at finding out what they can do to u to make you do what they want(i know i suck at writing).

2. -anxiety- when you first got him did you spend heaps of time with him and now arnt spending as much.


now im going to show you what you can do to fix this its very simple its called active "ignoring".
heres how its done:


when she start whining you leave the room or otherwise withdraw from her. When she stops, come out and give her attention/praise/treats. Eventually, with complete consistency, she will learn that whining makes you leave.


perfect worked for my dog like a charm.
