Sometimes a whine from your pooch can be as simple as them making a request. They may be asking you for food, water, or a walk.
Canines often turn to whining when they are conceding and looking to reconcile after a misstep on their part. This is usually coupled with a submissive posture like a tucked tail, lowered body, and an averted gaze.
Dogs often use whining as a salutation and reception. These sounds are particularly common when they are overcome with excitement at their favorite humans returning after a day of work.
Your pooch may be taking to whining as a way of getting your attention. Dogs are a lot like kids in this way; they complain when they feel no one is paying them attention or when they want something to do.
A common reason for a dog’s cries could simply be a plea for the loo. This need to relieve themselves rings particularly true for house-trained dogs as they know to go outside to do their business.
