How to stop a dog from whining? Lucky you if you have a pekingese who doesn’t have any whining issues. Most puppies have this tendency to whine all day and night. As annoying as it is, don’t get mad over the dog. He isn’t trying to get you annoyed nor getting in your nerves, so punishment is not a solution here. In some cases, it can only worsen the situation. Rather, it is best for you to uncover the real reason on why your pekingese is whining.

There are a lot of reasons on why they whine and the most common of it is the feeling of abandonement. If you see them whine when you leave the house, then that is the case. A helpful solution to this one is for you to take short breaks from him for like 30 minutes. Go out for a walk and see how he reacts. The more you do this, the more he would get used to the idea and he will be able to grab the concept of being home alone and won’t be so emotional when you go to work already.

Another reason for dog whining is seeking of attention. Maybe you suddenly got so busy and you don’t shower him with the same affection like you used to. It is wise for you to set some time for you to play with him. Go to the park, goof around the house, play fetch, tug of war, etc… Spend quality with him every day and you will notice that he won’t be whining as much anymore. There is also a chance that your pekingese is bored and wants to have fun. Put yourself in his shoes, won’t you be whining when you get bored?

Another culprit for whining is pain. Do a body check on your pekingese and make sure he is not in pain. Try to see if he is wincing or limping. Thoroughly check him for any signs of pain. If you are not sure on what is the reason behind is whining, bring him to your vet and do a check up. You never know what’s wrong if you won’t try to find out.
