Those living around you have begun to voice concern, and your patience is wearing thin. You are well aware that the whining must stop, but you certainly don't want to take back the cute little puppy. So what do you do? Several techniques exist to help stop the dog from whining. By making an unpleasant noise which only the dog can hear, there is an electrical device which will help with the undesirable behavior. Another way to stop your dog from whining is to tell it to stop every time it begins to whimper, and be very consistent with the command. The owner's constant, or very frequent presence will be essential, but eventually the dog will cease whining and silence will be restored. Certainly, other methods exist to help the dog stop whining which may also stop other undesirable habits, though this pair will be emphasized here.
Training Devices
Electrical devices to help your dog stop whining are not expensive and are completely safe to use. Your dog will not like the sound they produce, which will prove to be a key factor in the training process. What would happen if you heard a high-pitched, piercing scream every time you sat down with a piece of cake? It would not likely be long before there was a stop to all questionable food selections, due to the unbearable nature of the noise they prompted. These clever devices being spoken of are based on this very fact to make your dog stop whining. Should there be uncertainty regarding the tools, you are reluctant to antagonize the dog, or are worried that the tool will do harm to the animal, options other than audio tools exist to help make the dog stop whining.
Train Consistently
Another option for ensuring that the dog stop whining is the owner's presence whenever the whining begins. Simply tell the dog "No!" or make another loud noise when the whimpering begins. Never, ever hit your beloved dog. In fact, regardless of the pet's behavior, it is not right or even effective to hit it. Rather than spanking your dog, there are other, better methods to make it stop whining or displaying other behaviors you don't like. At the moment you catch the dog in the behavior you want to eliminate, try clapping very loudly with your hands, or hit your open palm with a folded newspaper. The reason these methods are so effective is because dog's ears are actually very sensitive and your dog will not like any of these noises. Be consistent and do this every time your dog begins to whine. By following these tips consistently, you will find your dog will stop whining and your neighbors stop complaining about the noise.
