We have a jack russell that is a year and a half old. He was crate trained from 6 weeks old. He has always been great about bedtime. His crate is in the basement with his brothers right across from him. Before we send them to bed we let them outside to go to the bathroom. They get plenty of attention. They eat plenty throughout the day. They have bones and blankies in their cages. Nothing has changed since they were babies. He has no health issues and is current on vaccinations.
So for the past two weeks, our jack russell has cried/whined himself to sleep. We are heartbroken but really have no clue what the problem is. We've let him out to try the bathroom again. We've let him get a bite to eat. Nothing helps. He still whines. My stance is to let him whine until he is over this. My partner wants to baby him. There has to be a middle ground where we both know he is okay.

Any ideas?
 
Well try it your way first and if that doesn't work just keep outside or next to you guys.
He might be having bad dreams or something. My dog would whine and bark in her sleep sometimes,it's normal.
 
you say that he has no health problems, but he could have something wrong with him now. he could be trying to tell to something is wrong with him. one option is to take him to the vet for an exam. another possibility is that he has recently developed a behavioral issue. maybe he is experiencing anxiety in which case, the best course of action would be to possibly give him something to calm him and make him tired before you put him to bed. another option would be to exercise him a Little right before bed to make him tired. buttttt, either way, Your vet would know what to do so you should take him there anyway. especially if it doesn't get better soon
