Pippa Elliott, MRCVS Veterinarian Expert Answer A brand new puppy at home for the first time will often cry for the first few nights, but then should stop. Be careful not to go to the puppy when actively crying, as this makes them think you can be called and makes the crying go on for longer.

Pippa Elliott, MRCVS Veterinarian Expert Answer If the puppy is playful at night, then he needs more exercise during the day. Make a point of playing with him regularly, and try not to let him sleep during the evening, so hes tired at bedtime. Then have a set bedtime routine where all the signals are “Its time to sleep now.” This includes making the room quiet, dimming the lights, and talking to him only in a soft sleepy voice.
Be sure the dog has plenty of chew toys, soft toys, water, and food (if left alone for longer periods). ⧼thumbs_response⧽ Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0
Never give in. Dont reinforce behaviors you want to eradicate by projecting human feelings and emotions onto your puppy. This will only teach the dog that you can be convinced to do whatever it wants. ⧼thumbs_response⧽ Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
If you are very frustrated and just want the puppy or dog to be quiet quickly (and there may be times when you will want this), do not yell at the dog, but try giving a sudden noise. Such as a firm but gentle “tch!” This will hush the puppy or dog by telling them that you are the boss and you need it to be quiet. ⧼thumbs_response⧽ Helpful 0 Not Helpful 1
Yelling at the dog as it barks or whines is the worst thing you can do. The dog doesnt understand your words, only the tone and energy are giving off, and to it you are barking yourself, making it okay for the dog to do it as well. ⧼thumbs_response⧽ Helpful 4 Not Helpful 0

How do I get my dog to stop whining to go outside?
Give your dog what it wants under certain circumstances. For example, if your dog is whining to go outside for a potty break, it’s better to leash it up or let it out rather than reinforce indoor elimination behaviors. Avoid unintentionally encouraging your dog to whine.
Asking for Something
If your dog wants something from you, like a walk, food, or a toy, it may whine in an effort to tell you. You may even notice its eyes shifting between you and the door or other desired object while its whining.
Attention-seeking whining may occur if youre doing something that doesnt involve your dog, like having a phone conversation with someone or focusing on an important task. It may also happen when your dog becomes jealous of the time youre spending with another person or pet.
If your dog is excited, whining may be part of its way of burning energy and may be accompanied by jumping up and down and running around. Part of this type of whining may also be about seeking attention.
Boredom whining often comes across as a “woe is me” sigh-and-whine combo. The dog whines out of boredom and may also be trying to get your attention.
