our saluki x is always "talking" they seem to me to be more vocal than other dogs he doesnt do it in the field and i just pet him up at home he settles down ok.

ive got a suluki bull greyhound, she's 6 and half month old and does exactly the same whinning all

time, although she's not as bad [bANNED TEXT] we first got her, vet's said when she's whinning dont show her

any attention dont even tell her to shut up jus totally ignore her

Had the very same problem with my pup, and after 3,000 splashes of the water hose each time she whinged, she has now shut up.

I've found that some pups are really whingy sods, until they start work. Its as though they don't know what to do with themselves, but once they are out in the field and finding an outlet for all the energy and frustration they calm down. Personally I'd not put up with a whingy dog: hate the things. If the dog lives in the house just ignore it when it whines, as others have suggested, but do make sure it always has something to do: big bones, toys to chew. Also, has the dog got its own personal space to sleep? It should have its own bed in a quiet corner somewhere out of the way of kids and goings on, not necessarily shut away. Some dogs get over stimulated by busy family life and can't shut down and switch off to rest.

 

You can also train the dog to go to its bed and stay there which should quieten it down a bit.

bucket of water mate in its face , it works

[sambam 8]

mines the same mate, saluki based bitsa, will whine for no reason mostly if im in other peoples houses, mams, dads, mates ect but somtimes at home, or if im stood talking when im on a walk, was the same when ferreting but getting better, no amount of shut ups will make him shut up lol i think its bordem with mine he always has to be doing somthing

[chris strilciw 1]

as i said water in the house no good, yeah he got his own bed away in the corner and he trained to stay in the bed but dose it then 2 just trying to ignore it but patience only go so far ha

More exercise, much more exercise, only then are you in any position to ask anything of the dog, if it still whines after increased exercise then firm consistent consequence, meaning enough to let the dog know you are not happy with it's behaviour, nothing more nothing less.

cheers for the advice all will try to up his exercise and just ignore him but would never get rid as he my first lurcher and will be with me till the end so just learn to live with it eh
