paulus 26 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 sounds like fear more than pain or frustration. make it enjoyable and keep it short, small multiple walks will be more benificial than one long one, familiarity is the key to steadyness Quote Link to post Share on other sites

craig09090 11 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 i took him out on his own and he is still doing it not half as much, he is a lot better than when i first had him, all he wanted to do was sit on my feet. so like i said mate ive just keep to the same and it seems to be doing the job.

skycat 6,173 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 It's partly a lack of confidence, and not knowing what is happening: the whining is 'help! what's going on? what am I supposed do be doing?' sort of noise. It's good that he wants to be with you: shows that he looks at you as his protector, which is how things should be. Keep exposing him to as many different situations as possible. Don't fuss him or reassure him when he does it: just carry on as normal, but try to interact with him as much as possible. Try taking a toy he can grab on to and tug on when you take him out. Sometimes the whining can be the pup's drive and energy which has no outlet. The pup knows instinctively it should be doing something, but it doesn't know what. Try to make each walk as fun as possible, focussing the pup's attention on you and the toy and play. This will distract him from any worries and frustrated energy that is bubbling away inside him, as well as improving the bond you have with him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
