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. The whining should stop once you identify the problem and fix it.
However, if your dog is whining for more food after you just fed them, this is a problem that needs to be corrected. Make sure no one in the family is giving your furry companion extra helpings, and never feed your dog from the table. If you give your dog more food in response to their whining, the behavior will only get worse.
Additionally, if your dog is whining for another walk after you just took them out, this could indicate a bladder problem or a digestive problem. If your dog has to go again as soon as you come back inside, you should take them to the vet.
Sometimes dogs whine just because no one is paying attention to them. This is similar to how little kids whine when they’re bored with the grownup talk at the dinner table. Your dog wants someone to play with or something to occupy them.

It’s often fairly obvious why a dog is whining. It may be begging for a treat from your plate or asking to be let in or out of the house. At other times, the whining may not be so easy to decipher. In these instances, look at the body language that accompanies the whining to figure it out. There are a few common reasons why dogs whine, although they may sometimes overlap.
