Tell the child firmly that you don't speak "whine", demonstrate the tome of voice that you WILL respond to, then sorry but you will just have to ignore her until she gets it right ( it won't take long when she realizes that whining won't get her what she wants!!!)

If by injection you mean chemical castration, I'm not sure but I'd say it's a bit of an ask for that to turn him off if he's living with a b itch who is in season. If she's literally just come in, you can get a course of tablets (Ovaban was the one I used) which will take her out of season after a few days. It's not a good idea to do this long-term and you need to book her in to be spayed asap. Frankly I think I'd kennel him (boarding), or do you perhaps have a friend who could take him for the 21 days your b itch will be in season. You should be able to separate them with the use of crates, but it won't stop him wanting to do what's natural. Be prepared for him to go off his food, loose weight, howl (and she may well do the same!!!). Incidentally, if you take her to an area in the garden where you can stop him from going, you might help him, but now he 'knows' there's no shutting him down, until she's out of season. Edit - to the post below - putting a dog into a band (whatever that is) and leaving him around this in season b itch is downright cruelty/torture. I'm horrified at this suggestion.

I read at one time that when a child hits their "terrible twos" (which happens earlier than two and lasts longer than two) they are realizing that the world doesn't revolve around them which causes fear and the constant whining. When my son hit that stage I did what the article suggested and it seems to work 99% of the time. I get down on his level and give him a hug and ask him what is wrong. I'm sure that most of the time he didn't quite understand me, but the closeness seemed to help. Generally, however, if I just stop what I am doing and give him two minutes of my attention it saves me from an hour of whining. Temper tantrums are definately another subject. Good Luck!

My daughter has identical twin girls and one is a whiner. Trust me when I say that we have tried EVERYTHING and at 4 1/2 -- she still whines at times. Some kids are just whiners and nothing you can do will change that. I just started laughing at the responses above that said "Use a firm voice" --- OMG, does nothing but make them cry while they are whining. Good luck sweetie and keep trying different things until you find the one that works on YOUR daughter -- every kid is different.

When she whines for snack crackers.......
Take the box out of the cabinet.....
frown at the label for a long time......
Say, "HMMMM.......it says here.....these crakers are only for little girls with happy voices".
Then demonstrate to her how you want her to ask for the crackers.
It won't work the first time, but if you use the same principal on many occasions through out her day she will get the message sooner than you think.

I have found that swift and sure punishment is very good at teaching pets and kids where the line is. I wouldn't stand for it myself and My kids know their life would not be nice if I were being driven crazy by them.

She probably learned it from one of her parents or significant adults in her life. Kids that age are impressionable. Perhaps, you're a whiner, so she just projects what you do because she sees it working for you. She does it because it works. It's definately learned behavior.

When she whines, tell her that you cannot understand her and will not be able to until she decides to speak normally. Then ignore her if she keeps whining. Most importantly
BE CONSISTENT!

I LOVE Puzzler's idea. I would try that. In fact, I'm going to try it on my toddler who whines all the time
