Whines puppy. What to do

If a funny puppy appeared in the house, then besides joy and affection, this event will bring with it certain difficulties. The baby will need to be taught everything, in addition, and the owners will have to learn to recognize when the puppy whines and what to do in this case. If the owners are not professional breeders, dog handlers or veterinarians, then most likely, the pet's whines will cause them to become confused. And, meanwhile, much depends on the correct behavior in this case.

Whining is one way to communicate

When answering the question why the puppy whines, you need to understand that dogs are very sociable animals. They talk with the help of barking, leaving marks on the territory, wagging their tails and even looking into their eyes. These phenomena can tell a lot. So the whining is one of the forms of communication, besides being quite common. The whine, the puppy notifies others about its presence, attracts the mother, protects itself from other dogs, as the whining affects them soothingly.

These sounds do not always mean that the baby is in pain, as in most cases, animals suffer diseases silently with a certain degree of tolerance, or weakly wailing.

Also, dogs of one breed or another can vary in temperament. Some dogs are silent, others are very "talkative", the latter often use various speech techniques, including whining.

If a puppy whines, it can speak about completely different feelings - joy, boredom, longing, fear, panic, the demand for something. It is worth looking more closely at the state of the small pet and, based on the accompanying behavior and state, act. Moreover, pitiful whining does not always require immediate intervention ...

When a puppy needs real help, and when is it just a whim that should be ignored?

Emotional state of the pet

If we talk about the behavior of the animal in the wild, the whining is an expression of humility and humility. Thus, the weaker member of the pack says to the stronger member that he gives up. At the same time, the entire pose of the dog shows readiness to obey: the ears are tightly pressed, the head is lowered to the ground, the tail is tucked. Often in such a situation, the animal falls to the ground with its whole body.

If the pet whines blame, then it will be correct to silently approve such behavior and retire. The dog will understand that it is forgiven.

In addition, it is quite normal for a dog to whine, welcoming familiar people or returning owners. In this case, the puppy can describe intense circles, jump high, crouch on its front paws. Moreover, rapid enthusiasm can be caused not only by a long separation, but also by a half-hour separation.

If this is not exactly the taste of the owners, or the stormy meeting is too long, then you can calm the dog in only one way - not to react to the manifestations of feelings, not to iron and not look into the eyes. In most cases, this technique works, and the puppy gradually calms down.

Dogs often use whining to get something desired. This is due to the fact that people react to such sounds in such a way that they are happy to fulfill any whim of the pet, if only he does not whine. And so even nonsense puppies begin to enjoy their advantage.

To wean a puppy to whine, no need to indulge the whims of a puppy. And to give him the coveted or not, you should decide only after he calms down and stops publishing plaintive whine.

In addition to joy, a puppy may whine in a frustrated or frightened state. In this case, the pet noticeably nervous, lowers its tail, presses its ears to its head and constantly looks around.

If the puppy is very frightened, he can not just whine, but intensively scratch the door, trying to get out of the room, clogs himself under furniture, trembles with his whole body and does not make contact.

The puppy may get scared when traveling in transport and start whining loudly. That is why it is better to carry the pet in a special carry so that he feels more or less protected and safe. On the road you need to take your favorite toy or a new, still unexplored pet. Also perfectly suited for distracting pet sweets.

Whining newborn puppy

Like other newborn babies, puppies also require special attention. It is worth knowing that if they are healthy, well fed and are close to a nursing mother, they will not whine.

The reason for whining may be a disease obtained during childbirth. Most often, the first puppies suffer from intrauterine infection. Moving along the birth canal, they absorb all the infection in themselves, clearing the passage from it for the subsequent wrinkles. Sick puppies can whine, yelp, they are weakened, they cannot suck on their own, do not gain weight and begin to lag behind in development. Often they die, and the last born puppies survive.

In this case, the litter is given to be fed to the other dog, and treatment is given to the mother who has given birth to the bitch.

If the dog has numerous offspring (more than 6 puppies), then the owners will have to attend to their feeding, as in most cases, all mother's milk is not enough. The weakest puppies can receive less nutrition, and this causes them to whine. In the same situation, another lactating female can help, or bitch milk purchased from a veterinary pharmacy.

Puppy night whine

Often it happens that during the day the puppy behaves quite peacefully, and at night, he begins his pitiful concerts, preventing not only the owners from sleeping, but also the residents of the neighboring apartments. If a puppy whines at night, you must immediately deal with a similar phenomenon.

The only correct solution in this case is to completely ignore the pet. If you start to regret, the puppy will take it as a encouragement and understand that you can always achieve what you want in this way. Later, he will whine even more protractedly and plaintively, begging for increased attention.

If the puppy does not calm down for a long time, then you can use the well-known command "fu!" You need to open the door and in a strict tone, loudly and clearly, say the command. Doing this will have a long time until the dog calms down. If the baby has stopped whining, even for 15-20 seconds, then it is necessary to praise him for it. Gradually, receiving timely commands and well-deserved praise, he will learn to do without whining for a longer time.

Hearing for human hearing is not the most pleasant sound, but you have to be patient. It is worth remembering that physical punishment is not the right decision, it will lead to much worse results, since the behavior of a pet after beatings and other influences will only worsen.

Whines and worries

Many puppies at first can not be alone, and as soon as the owners go beyond the threshold, they begin to heart-rending whining, irritating the neighbors. Their call is clear: “Do not leave me alone, and I want with you!” What to do with such a manifestation of feelings?

First of all, you should not try to avoid such situations, otherwise the puppy will understand that after crying someone will stay with him, or he will get rid of himself with the owner. Before leaving it is necessary to provide the baby with all necessary:

• If the puppy is vaccinated, then it should be taken out into the street and allowed not only to do its work, but also to run, frolic; after an intense walk, the dog will want to sleep more than whine.
• Leaving food and water freely available is definitely a distraction from bitter thoughts;
• Puppies are children, so be sure to be surrounded by your favorite toys, special things that you can nibble; then he will whimper less, being distracted by an interesting occupation.
• Going out the door, you can go back in a couple of minutes and use the command "fu!". Of course, you have to spend some time, go back to the door and more than once, but if the baby stopped whining, you should definitely praise him and even encourage him with a treat.

In teaching a pet to family life, the main rules are patience and love. Only this way it is possible to achieve the desired result and gain the trust and respect of the fourfold friend.
