There are many reasons that your dog may have a whining problem. When you learn why they are whining, you will be able to control the problem.  A couple of reasons dogs whine are that they are not feeling well, or that they are lacking attention.

Many people who have pets are quite often away from home during the day due to appointments and work.

However, the behavior can be one of a positive nature, when they are sure you are the leader of the pack, and one of a negative nature when they are trying to assert themselves as the leader.
