Michelle , I have seen a wee bit of whining in a new pup when they are left alone. I am a sucker for whining and I tend to think of the pup as a child. They don't want to be alone. If possible - and it isn't always possible - I will carry the pup around with me. They are like a baby. They want attention and just to be with everyone. And like a baby - giving attention -gives security. My needs will always be met . You can't spoil a child and you can't spoil the dog. Make them feel safe and secure and independence will come. That is just what has worked for me. As I write this I have 5 of 7 dogs laying relaxed near me and on me. The other 2 are comfortable enough at this moment to lay where they like. They always know Mom is here : )

He whines when he doesn't get his way, whenever we leave the room he's in, and any other time he feels like it. Believe me he is definately spoiled and gets loads of attention!!! Also, he is always underfoot and has been stepped on (accidentally) many times. Michelle " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends! Join today! " Yahoo! Groups Links
