1. Your Dog Needs or Wants Something. The most obvious reason your dog may be whining is that they need or want something from you, like food, water, or a walk. Maybe their favorite toy is stuck underneath the couch, or the cat is sleeping in their bed.
Why does my dog seem to whine for no reason?
While to a human it may seem like a dog is whining for no reason, the dog is trying to telling you something. Like barking and growling, whining is a way that dogs vocalize their desires, excitement, pain, stress, and everything in between.
How do I get my dog to stop whining?
Give her treats for being quiet. Then start a really short drive down your driveway. If she whines, pull over and ignore her. Give her treats when she is quiet.
