Everyone meet Teddy, an adorable golden retriever who doesn’t like it at all when no one’s paying attention to him! It’s okay to not pay attention to him for 2 minutes, but more than that? He will start crying!
According to the original uploader on YouTube, “I am Teddy, and I cry when my owners don’t scratch me. Life it’s hard…specially for dogs…” Yep there are times when our fur balls would do anything, just about anything to get our attention! But what should you do to curb down the whining?
According to WebMD, “If your dog uses whining behavior to seek attention, rewards or desired objects, you need to teach her that remaining quiet is a better strategy. Sometimes reducing attention-seeking whining may be difficult because owners may unwittingly reinforce the behavior.”
“Realize that any eye contact, touching or talking to your dog—even if you’re scolding her—all constitute attention. Use dramatic body language such as turning away from your dog or folding your arms across your chest and completely ignore her to indicate to your dog that her attention-seeking whining won’t work.” Now take a look at this video on page 2 below!
