Just like with kids, a lot of dogs whine because it works. Be careful about giving into whining, because that just teaches the dog to do it more. Be especially careful not to give in after 10 minutes, because that just tells them they need to whine extra long to get what they want.
That being said, if my dog whined for 45 minutes, I would be concerned that he was in real distress.
