How do I get my dog to stop whining when eating?

The key is to reward often in the first few meals (really, every 15 seconds when he’s quiet) so your dog learns what you expect. Don’t rush it. If he whines for five full minutes during any meal, say bingo, get up, go to him, and escort him to his crate or another room.

Why does my puppy cry when feeding?

If they are crying during or after eating, they are usually becoming ill, are not receiving adequate milk, or the mother’s milk has become infected (mastitis). A newborn puppy is very susceptible to infections and can die within a few hours of becoming ill.
