Trying really hard not to reinforce his crying! Joined: Jun 13, Messages: 8, Likes Received: I wonder if whippet owners here can let you know whether this is a breed trait? I have vague memories of someone saying it was once Some breeds are just vocal. Sarahferret PetForums Senior.

It sounds to me like attention seeking, and it is working! Ignore all the crying and remember to give him lots of praise, love and attention every time he his quiet. The whining could be because he is teething maybe? Skinnywhippet PetForums Member. Joined: May 23, Messages: Likes Received: 6.
Hands up to a Whinging Whippet here I believe it isn't that unusual for them to be vocal -they usually aren't "yappy" barkers but can be big on a range of other noises from grumbling to "roo roo" chattering to whining. Mine was a shocking whiner as a youngster. It used to really get to me, it felt like she was sad all the time. I did my best not to reinforce - in fact I often turned my back or even left the room when she started it - but as you say, it is a fine line on screwing up the house training.
You may find that, with consistent ignoring and very dull on leash potty trips at times you daren't risk it yours will grow out of it. Mine largely has. I actually remember the first day I felt inexplicably happy at around 7pm, and realised it was the first time I hadn't heard a whinge all day!

One of my whingers was dreadful as a puppy think full on wailing whilst we were eating and he's mostly grown out of it. An example of this would be if there is a loud thunderstorm outside or there are fireworks being let off nearby.
The way to stop your whippet from crying largely depends on the reason behind why it is crying in the first place. In most cases, your whippet will be crying for attention from you, which can be stopped a multiple of ways. Another highly effective way to get your whippet to stop crying is to give him a lot of exercise, usually, whippets cry when they are bored. This is a sign that they need more mental stimulation and exercise.
Try leaving treats around your home for him to sniff out, or take him for walks with other dogs so that he can socialise. The first is to give him a lot of attention, the more attention you give your whippet the more reliant he will become on it.
When you have a dog in your family, you can expect some whining now and then. But if you notice your dog whining at night without any noticeable reason, then there might be something wrong that needs your attention. There are many different reasons why dogs whine at night, and thankfully, most of them are not too serious. Use this list to help narrow down the potential problem in your dog and figure out what to do from there. When dogs are in pain, they whine. If your dog is whining more often only when she lays down, she may be dealing with joint pain or some other problem relating to her position.
She may also have some trouble breathing while sleeping or any number of other problems contributing to the whining. Dogs who are advanced in age or who have chronic illnesses may be more likely to whine at night than others due to their health issues.
Therefore, you should rule out this possibility completely with your vet before continuing to diagnose the source of the whining. Feeding dogs low-quality food or ingredients that they are intolerant to or allergic to might cause this issue. Dogs who eat too quickly may also develop bloating and can become very sick with other ailments related to digestion as well. Stick with food that has simple, real ingredients that she can easily process. Additionally, you might want to try feeding her a very bland diet for a few days including plain cooked white rice and plain boiled chicken.
If the whining eases during this time, then you can safely assume her diet is causing the issue. This may be a problem your veterinarian can help you with as well, so schedule an appointment if you think stomach pain and digestive trouble may be the problem. Dogs need a lot of stimulation, and they need a lot more exercise than many house dogs get, too.
