| Yeah, they are whiners. Voodoo is right, I have one barker and one whiner. Bascially Dobes are vocal dogs. I know with mine the whining is worse when he isn't getting his way, if he wants out of his crate, wants a toy, a treat, etc. I try to exercise him physically, then do a short training session - you can teach your's to sit at this age - and then a toy, usually a kong or a bully stick, something that will occupy him for a while so I don't go crazy!
