I have a small breed dog that whines and barks when i and my wife goes for work..Is there a way i can make him keep quiet...he is harmless just that he can t see us go =(
Your dog seems to suffer from separation anxiety - if you google it you should find some good ways to help him learn that it's not a bad thing when you leave (he gets lonely, just like we do).
One thing to stop doing (if you are doing it) is to make a big fuss over him just before you leave - don't even say goodbye, just go.
Another thing is to give him something to do - there are treat balls (I have one called a kong) that you can fill with some small treats or a little peanut butter or cheese - give it to him just before you leave and leave while he is busy with it. I've also got a larger ball (which I brought from Canada) that I can put some of the kibble in - in order to get them out the dog has to push the ball around - they don't come out every time so he's kept busy for a while.
As I said, try googling separation anxiety and look for positive ways to reinforce the desired behavior.
Another way to stop dog whining is to tell your dog to stop. This can be a time consuming way of stopping the whining, because it means that you will need to be there every time your dog whines for it to be really effective. A firm “stop” should eventually lead to your dog understanding that this is not accepted behavior. You may also consider slapping a newspaper on your leg. You can also clap your hands or make another loud sound to stop your dog’s whining behavior. Your dog’s ears are sensitive to the sound, and it will bother the dog much like the high-pitched noise bothers the dog. It is important to remember, though, that you should not hit your dog for whining.
Because often your dog just wants your attention, ignoring the dog when he is whining can help to eliminate the behavior. Praising your dog when he doesn’t whine can also be helpful. The dog begins to see that whining leads to bad consequences while not whining leads to good consequences. No matter what option you pick for stopping dog whining, one of the most important things is to be consistent.
