Thanks again Jeanie..I always know I can count on this forum for useful information. I know that the behaviour was totally created by my need to try to keep him quiet so he didn't disturb the ppl in the basement or my hubby when he was sleeping so probably gave in to him WAY TOO MUCH. Also since I was away in hospital and now home, he has been following me like crazy. I have a dog walker coming to take him for a walk the next few days as I am not able to do much with him during my recoup so I know he has too much pent up energy. I am def going to start giving him time out for his whining though as it is really getting out of hand...thanks a lot. |
