Maggie is my whiner. She is fine until she hears the hair dryer...then she knows it is me that is up and not hubby. lol Then the whining starts. She knows when I say "ah-ah" and she stops but then she starts up after awhile.
I do not pick her up until she sits and is quiet. She has to sit before I open the pen and then she has to wait til I say it is okay to come out. Most of the time though, she will barrel out and do one lap around the living room and run back in and sit---it's like a ritual.
Maggie had clicker training in her obedience class so I was able to get her to stop whining, unfortunatley I've not kept up with it but she does understand the "ah-ah". |
