She's a 9 week old weiner dog that whines constantly. It's mostly when I'm in a room and shes outside the door and wants in. She will do this at 3 in the morning and wake everyone up. I would let her in, but she's not fully house broken. Help! I need a good night's sleep. : )

Sometimes a clock will quiet them down, it represents a sound like a mothers heartbeat and I have used it with my dogs. Also, something that smells like you or one of it's owners (blanket, old t-shirt, etc.) in her bed. Try bringing her in when you are at home and letting her out every 20-30 minutes (more if she is a water drinker!) and let her get used to potty training. Praise her for letting you know when she has to go out, and if she is too late, put her nose in it and tell her "no!" and place her outside. Good luck!

First of all, she is still very much a baby. She is lonely and bored, especially after having been separated from her siblings. Get her her own crate to function as a den. Make sure to give her blankets, toys, water and a shirt that smells like you. You could even put the crate in your room if you were planning on letting her sleep there once she was housebroken. Secondly, feed her in the crate so that she sees it as a good thing. And give her a kong with dog kibble inside- put peanut butter on either end so the kibble does not fall out. This will give her something to keep her busy and again make the crate a good thing.
Thirdly, hang-in there. The amount of time this adjustment takes depends on the individual dog. My ewest edition, now 9 months old, took about 2 weeks before she stopped whining at night. For the first few days it was about 2 hours of whining/barking, and then it gradually decreased to the point where in that second week it was only for a few minutes.

Since she wants to be around you the best thing to do is give her something that smells like you. Either a old shirt or something that will be soft and have your scent. Have you thought of a kennel at night? Sometimes they will feel more secure in a smaller place even tho she might yelp a few times she will get used to it. If not the kennel find a place in your house that you think she would feel safe and give her something that smells like you and tell you to stay. It will take some training. Things like that dont just happen over night.

I had a puppy that i got at 2 weeks old and he whined until he was 7 weeks old. SHes still a puppy and kinda probably misses her family or sometimes they need attention or have to use the bathroom. What we did was gave him a old towel and we waited until he went to sleep but when they are young they have to use the bathroom more so that may be it plus she had a mommy so now ur her mommy and she probably misses the other its a normal thing!

My wife once told me a great joke that I'm sure any woman would agree with, even if I don't. "What is the difference between a puppy, and a grown man?".
Punch line: "The puppy eventually stops whining".
It will happen. Might take longer than you want, but it will...

I wpuld try putting a baby toy in with her wherever she sleeps. A baby toy that has a heart beat recording inside it. Sometimes you just have to ignore the whining, but the early in the morning thing, I would try the toy

If you let your puppy in when she whines you will teach her that whining gets what she wants. At that age she should be crated, you can have her in her crate in your room, but dont let her out when she whines. Use proper crate training methods

Give her some time. She's a pup and misses her littermates. She will adjust and eventualy see you and your family as her pack.
You're going to just have learn to ignore the whining.

Puppies do that. I have a 4 month old Australian sheperd. Ignore her, she will outgrow it eventually.Get a crate for her and put her in it a night.
