Meerihunter 7 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I admire your commitment to your partner, it seems a rare qualities these days. I'm not from the ignore and hope for the best school of thinking myself (each to ther own though), I believe in being crytal clear with my dogs so every one of them knows exactly where they stand and making things happen. Key to that IMO is meeting the dogs basic needs first and foremost then you are in position pick and choose how your dog behaves around that basis. I would wish you good luck but luck isn'treally any part of it is it, it's about getting motivated and making things happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kabar 14 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've got a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie that whines. He's nearly 5 month now and although better is still annoying. I hate whinning dogs its like nails on a black board to me. He used to bark in his kennel at night as well but an anti bark collar stopped that. The whinning though continues. I can't ignore it and if he is in the house he is told "quiet" every time he starts, it ususaly makes him stop for a few hours. At night he whines when he goes in his kennel for a few minutes and then stops until 7am when he starts again. If he is in his kennel I try to suprise him with either a shouting at or a scuffting, again this works for a while. I try to get him to shut up and calm down and then let him out only when he is quiet for at least half an hour. I tried water but it did not work. He has loads of exercise with care taken not over stress his young body but is clearly a dog that like to to be with people and not on his own, once inside he will often fall fast asleep. I suspect that once he goes out to work he will either be too tired to whine or will have realised that it is pointless and only gets him told off. I feel you pain though matey and fair play for not just moving it on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
