dogs whine for several reasons by the way let me know in the comment area why
is it that you think your dog whines? what causes your dog to whine? when it comes to
dogs and whining there are mainly five reasons why dogs want number one reason
is stress or anxiety this is very common in dogs who are stressed and have
anxiety and they whine to let you know that there are stressed the reasons that a
dog can become stress on how anxiety has to do with many things something in
their lives may be unbalanced some changes have happened in their lives or
your life another animal another dog or another person is causing your dog to be
stressed and also it's the first signal kind of that they give before they start
barking or growling or misbehaving so this is very common in dogs if dogs are
not getting their 5 essential needs and what are those five essential need i'll
link a video that I have talked about a dog's five essential needs right here
number two reason why dogs whine is because of excitement they're probably
happy so they're whining for instance when you come home they get happy and
they want when you're getting ready to go to the park or they see you getting
ready to go to park they start whining they can't wait for something let's say
you're preparing their dinner or their treat or while they're waiting for the
reward or whatever is coming in this part whining little bit is okay as long
as it's controlled and is manager and it's for a short time number three
reason why dogs whine is because they want attention they want physical and mental
attention probably they are asking for example a puppy would whine maybe wants
to go out a dog made mine well because they have to go and they
asking you to give attention to them and let them out or they want to play with
you so it's kind of a conversation that they're having with you they're giving
the signal in this part so physically they are desperate they have to go for
example to bathroom or they want to play or emotionally they're asking you to do
something or they want to get something but be careful not to respond to their
emotional whining all the time because what happens then they're training you
to respond to their whining and that causes your dog to learn that they can
whine all the time and they get what they want
number four reasons why dogs whine is because they have pain and some form of
physical or mental or emotional pain in their system anything can cause a dog to
become injured and have pain so you want to be kind of aware of what is happening
with your dog so the way you're going to manage and prevent your dog to have
physical pain is checking your dog every day and if something has gone wrong then
you're familiar with that body and you know if that pain is physical or mental
younger dogs and older dogs tend to get injured easily so pay attention to them
and number Five reasons why dogs whine it's because it has become a learned
behavior a dog probably has learned that if I whine I get what I want
sometimes what happens is when they whine we pick them up they go for a walk
and you give treats or food to your dog so the dog learns if I give this whining
give the signal my human is going to give back to me and it's going to do
exactly what I ask so it becomes a learned behavior so those are the five
reasons why your dog may be whining if you like this video and if you want to
