i actually do try the ignoring thing. during the day when i know everyone else is at work. sometimes i'd stay in my room working while he whined and sometimes i'd walk pass or into the kitchen area, but never giving in to his whining. i never pet him, give him treats, play with him, or let him out if he's whining or jumping for attention. he'd whine for 30 mins minimum to three hours straight if i'm not in his line of sight. but he'll start to quiet down when he sees me. i've been doing this since i've gotten him at 8 weeks old more than 2 months ago.
i'm taking him over to my parents tonight while i'm at school. i'm hoping he'll be quiet while at my parents. he has more room to move and run around there and my parents will be home. this is just a short term solution though. my brother is mildly allergic to bunjee so i can't leave him there for too long.
my mom thinks i should just let bunjee have the run of the condo. she thinks maybe he's whining because in addition to being alone, he does't have enough space to move around so he's sad and depressed by that. but i really want him to be 100% or at least 99% accident free and finished teething before i do that.
so i'm testing the radio thing right now. jazz music seem to be working a little better than tv or spoken word radio. he's in the gated area of the kitchen and although he's whining a little in the first 15 minutes, he's been quiet for the past 10 mins. keep your fingers crossed!
well, on the brightside, at least he quit eating and playing with his poop now.
