Whining

[HorseGirl13]

We recently got a 6 week old beagle puppy, who is constntantly whining. When we leave his sight he immediatly whines. Is this normal?

He's very young, and just lonely for his siblings probably. It won't last forever.

I bet he's soooo cute! :)

Sounds really normal for a little puppy to me. Give him loads of kisses and hugs and some from me PLEASE. Bet he's just the cutest!!!!!;)

He is extremely young and really should not be away from his litter yet. Understand that he is bonding with you and you need to help him through this period. Actually you should cherish this period since it such a sweet and rewarding period. Once he realizes you are not going to leave, he will be ok.

We got Sadie at 8 weeks and she whined a lot at night. She had just left her mom and siblings. Once she got used to us to stopped...for the most part. She still whines at you, if you ignore her for too long ( she is 21 mos. now) :)

A hint to stop the whining sooner is to not give him attention when he does whine. Wait until he is quiet. That way you won't be rewarding the behavior and it will hopefully cease to exist :)

Good luck! Aren't beagle pups the cutest?!

I agree with Candy... 6 weeks in entirely too young to be away from mom and siblings. Be patient and give him lots of love. Also Aly is right that if you give him attention when he whines he will perceive that as doing something positive.

Good luck and WE WANT PICTURES!!!

Hi! :) I have a beagle myself.. we got her at 6-7 weeks old, and I know how you feel, haha.. Rosie whined A LOT the first few nights, but after that, she was quiet. Your pup needs some time to get used to everything he'll see around him! He sounds adorable though! Here are a few pictures of Rosie at 6-7 weeks old! (The other dog is Anna, my husky) and one of Rosie at 1 year old! - Rachel

Rachel, the transformation of Rosie from a pup to a year old are remarkable. She lost all her black markings on her face! I just love beagles and probably would own one if I was such a GOLDEN fanatic!! :rolleyes:

[ChrisAK]

Couldn't resist: Even at 5 years old they continue to whine. Especially if they are spoiled!!!!

:D :D :D

[mugsy]

Ain't it the truth Chris....all 15 of ours are incredibly spoiled and they still whine.

I LOVE beagles. I didn't know how much until we got Billy. They are just so loveable.

Yes this is normal, he is at an age where he does not like to be alone. My roommates bassett hound puppy does the same thing---except he howls.

[puppy101]

Don't worry, it is completley normal. My dog is seven and still whines! They just get lonely, and sometimes they whine for attention and affection.

[HorseGirl13]

Thanks sooo much for all of your ideas! I'll give them a whirl!

[COOLGIRLSTEPH]

I can't blame them!:D
My youngest dachshund always whines when my mum leaves in the house with me when she goes shopping!:rolleyes:
She also whines when we shut her in the garden so she jumps up at the glass back-door and whines!:p
Believe me, whining is normal for who get pampered too much like mine!:cool:

Horsegirl, I got my dog from a rescue when he was only a couple of months old and went through this too. I found a stuffed animal at a local pet store that had batteries that made a heartbeat sound and vibration when it was on.

I wish I could remember the name of the company that made it. I will see if I still have the toy. When Seven would get upset, he would lay down on the stuffed animal and the heartbeat seemed to calm him down.

Every dog I've had has gone through what you're experiencing. It's very normal.

Much luck.

OMG....WHAT A SWEETHEART SHE IS....AWWWW!!!

I agree with everyone, she is just very young and whining is normal. Phoebe is 2 1/2yrs and she still can whine when she wants too, especially if you are not paying attention to her!!

She will grow out of that (whining alot) but still expect some.
