I've tried the ignoring him, but it's so hard because he gets louder and other family members yell at me to keep him quiet. Plus if I put him in a crate, he rocks and whines until he makes himself throw up. I am going to try putting him in another room when I eat and give him a treat when he quits whining. Also I have found out that when he whines constantly and doesn't quit even if I will ignore him, it's not to go potty or to play, but it's to go on a walk. Hopefully this problem will be gone in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the advice!
