i have one whiner and one barker , you will probably find he turns out to be not much of a barker.
it drives us insain !! totally insain !!
it does not slow down or stop.
god im sorry i must be making you feel really bad !!
i find with zeus its a couple of things.
1st tired, he whines whines but wont give in for a nap. if i send him to his basket and make him stay a few whines later he is snoring and happy when he wakes,
2nd he can have as much walking as i can give and its no good, he will stop whining after training and ball play, i think you have to wear there brains out as well as the body!
some one on here taught there dog to talk.. whine on command so they they could teach the quiet command to shut them up.
but i had no luck with that.
the only thing i can offer to keep you sain is some earplugs or put the puppy for a time out so they will hoefuly sleep and you can both get some peace.
good luck |
haha no worries. I anticipated these type of responses. Goose definitely whines in an attempt to fight sleep. He also seems to whine if he's a bit bored but what boggles my mind is this is usually after a pretty spirited play session. I've tried to redirect it by offering one of his toys and that usually works for a little while and then he goes back to whining. I think I'm going to pick up a Canine Genius toy which is food driven and set up like a Puzzle so the dog has to work for the treats/food. Currently he's asleep and it may be the first time he hasn't whined since 8am this morning. He is driving me insane but as I said previously I did expect the whining just not quite this much.
I also try and ignore him while he's doing it until he stops. When he stops I present him with a toy or if he's whining in his crate besides after he first wakes up I try and ignore him until he stops and then I let him out. It will definitely be easier to redirect once he gets a bit older. I can't really take him anywhere until after his second round of shots.........
