Whining Yorkie!! Is that common??

[MyBohoBaby]

I have one (lexi) that is a barker... she like TALKS. And then the other (prada) that is the whiner... she will wine in her crate... in her car seat... on my lap. NO CLUE why! ROFL

That's one thing I've learned, don't give in to the whines! I find Bailey will eventually stop and go on to something else if I can't tend to his "needs" at that very moment My bf's sister has a yorkie and we babysat a few times, her yorkie whined for her the entire time she was gone! I'm hoping Bailey doesn't turn out like that

Sebastian and Autumn are whiners. If I am in view they will whine for me. Autumn was being held by my niece in the car and she whined all the way home. Not constant every now and then and it was a low sounding whine. Sebastian will bark scream and whine if I leave him in the car with my hubby. If I have to make a pitstop. I tell hubby to hold him and he says nothing works! Telling him to hush or even holding him. After the first couple of times he says anytime we go somewhere with him I have to take my doggie purse. I am not leaving either of the two alone with him. LOL!

That being said, if my dog whined for 45 minutes, I would be concerned that he was in real distress.

Nope he wasn't in distress it was bedtime, he had just had the final water and potty for the night... the usual routine. He was in his crate in my bedroom, I was in bed, it was time to go to sleep he has whined for long periods like this before, I would check on him, let him out to make sure he did not need to potty or drink, same thing happened each time he ran around the room ready to play!!! Put him back in the crate the whining resumed, the only distress he was in was not having his own way because eventually he "whimpered" himself to sleep... just like a baby!!

Thanks to ALL OF YOU for these post!! My whining Yorkie appears to be "typical" apparently my quiet Yorkie may be "a-typical!!!" More reason to love her!
