How Can You Stop Your Dog From Whining

You just brought your new puppy home and he won’t stop whining. Your neighbors are starting to complain and you’re at your ropes end. You don’t want to get rid of the new pup, but at the same time you want to stop the dog from whining.

How can you really stop your dog from whining then? Here are a few ways that you might want to consider. One thing you can do is to purchase an electrical device that gives out a certain sound. This sound is only audible to a dog but is extremely unpleasant for a dog. Another method to stop your dog from whining is to stay consistent. Every time he whines, tell him to stop.

This can be a bit troublesome since you have to be there every time, or at least most of the time. But given enough time, your dog will probably stop whining and be quiet. Obviously, there are more than one way to stop dog whining as well as other undesirable behaviors. But for now, we will just focus on 2 methods.

Using A Device

It will not cost you a lot of money in order to purchase those devices that we have mentioned above. Also, the device is not going to hurt your pet dog. All it does is to give up some extremely unpleasant noise that dogs hate to hear. Just imagine yourself smoking. Every time you light up a cigarette, you will hear a loud piercing squeal. And you just cannot stand that sound and you don’t want to hear it anymore. Sooner or later, you will stop smoking so that you will not hear that noise 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.

Hitting a dog is not going to be effective anyway. There are always alternative methods to stop a whining dog, other than hitting him. For example, you might want to slap a newspaper against your hand or simply clap your hands together to stop your dog from any undesirable behavior.

Dogs ears are very sensitive, which is why the above devices work so well, and while a newspaper slapping against a palm may not bother you, it definitely bothers the dog. Do this every time the dog whines and do it often. Remain consistent and pretty soon your dog will stop whining and you, and your neighbors, will have the peace you desperately deserve.
