does anyone else have problems with their basset hound constantly whining... its not like a painful whine just doing it to do it.....

Cotton Hill

Mine does this for one of two reasons:

1) its the morning time and he's awake and alone in his room.
2) he is being a little pill.

To keep things simple, i keep a spray bottle full of water handy somewhere in the kitchen. A few sprays and a solid SHH will usually get him to stop. Sometimes he sees the bottle and promptly stops whining : P

Annie714

Annie whines almost constantly. She will even whine just a little (out of excitement I think) when we start our walk. If she is outside sleeping, no whining, but if she sees me it becomes major "whine time." I think she has developed a super sized attachment to me in the past few years because I've been home more. She will even whine into a howl if I go out front and she knows I'm out there. I remind her daily that she is very lucky that she is soo cute, any other dog would be in trouble for the noise.

WatsonBoy

Watson is very vocal. He has "little whines" and "big whines." The little whines are for seemingly no reason. The big whines usually means he is hungry, thirsty, tired or generally wants attention (much like a child or infant) or needs something. The only time he isn't whining in some way, shape, or form is when he is otherwise occupied with a toy, treat or bone. So you're not alone in the whiny basset situation!!

Agreed. Bowser whines (talks) for EVERYthing. He's happy, sad, upset, excited, hungry, outside, uhm...waking up in the morning *lol* he's just very vocal. Usually a few pats and kisses will shut him up : )

Yogi's Mom

Yogi doesn't whine unless he wants to go out. Our GSD whines all the time and it drives me a bit nuts. Sometimes I think he's having a conversation with himself.

Barney whines a lot,especially when he is bored.He is 4 months old now and has so much energy..he keeps his mom busy!

Princess Buttercup

Princess Buttercup's definitely a whiner but she rarely ever growls or howls! That is unless we leave her somewhere new like a beach house or relatives during the holidays etc. "Arroooo!!! You forgot to take me with you!! Arroooo!! Pleeeeease come back!" She does bark like a banshee at the dog park too! I totally feel like the mom of the bad kid at camp!!

MollyMcFrecklesMom

I've just accepted the whining as part of life. I used to think I was missing something that Molly needs, but now I realize she just does it. I mean, sometimes it's out of boredom, so then we spend time playing fetch, tug, or just getting a good scratch. I have noticed that the whining is decreasing as she's getting older.

I guess some bassets whine more than others. Better than constant barking, I'd say.

Yep. Lily does this frequently. As a matter of fact she's doing it right now, and she's driving me nuts!!!
