How Can You Stop Your Dog From Whining

Have you just adopted a puppy but your puppy just keeps on whining? Maybe your neighbors are very unhappy and are complaining to you? If your answer is yes, you are probably not sure what to do now. You still want to keep your puppy but the problems is, you don’t know how to stop him from whining.

How do you go about doing this? There are a few ways you can go about stopping your dog from whining. One of the ways is by the use of an electrical device that will emit a noise only the dog can hear that is not very pleasant. The other way to stop your dog from whining is to remain consistent with it to tell it to stop whenever you hear the dog beginning to whine.

This will require you to be there at all times, or at least most of the time, but with enough time your dog will retain this behavior of not whining and all will be quiet once more. Of course there are other ways to make your dog stop whining, and to stop many other behaviors, but we’ll focus on these two for now.

Using A Device

Sound devices like the one described above to make your dog stop whining don’t cost that much and they don’t hurt the dog. They just emit a sound that’s unpleasant to the dog. Imagine if you were to hear a loud piercing squeal every time you ate junk food. Pretty soon you’d probably stop eating junk food because you couldn’t bear to hear that sound ever again.

Generally, this is how those devices work to help you stop your dog from whining. If you are not too sure about the devices and how they work, or maybe you just dislike the idea of annoying your pet, or you are afraid of causing harm to your dog, don’t worry. There are other alternative methods that you can use to stop your dog from whining.

Consistent Training

Another way you can consider to stop your dog from whining is to be there whenever he begins to whine. Once he starts whining, make a loud noise and tell it no. Never try to hit a dog, no matter what kind of negative behaviors he is displaying.

There are other ways to go about making your dog stop whining, or engaging in any other behavior, rather than hitting him. You can slap a newspaper against your hand or just clap your hands together to make your dog stop whatever behavior you want him to.

Due to the fact that dogs have sensitive ears, the methods discussed above work well. Although a newspaper slapped against your palm is probably not going to bother you. But it certainly bothers the dog. Every time your dog starts to whine, do it and do it often. Be consistent and sooner or later, your dog will just stop whining. You and your neighbors will then be able to enjoy the must needed and deserved peace.
