Help - He won't stop whinning!

I recently purchased a peekapoo. Beautiful dog, but he will not stop whinning. I think it is because he is trying to establish his dominance in the house. I am being very patient and understanding but I want it to stop. He is a very loving baby boy of 9 weeks old. I also think he misses his sisters and brothers. Are there any suggestions?
Thanks

HI. a puppy that whines all the time should not be paid any attention unless its because they need to go out.
A whiney pup will soon learn cry and they owner will go running and give attention.

My advice is get him a create and put a blanket, plus something old of yours with your scent on plus a teddy for him to snuggle to. Also putting a ticking clock under the blanket will mimic the mothers heartbeat and soothe the pup.

Never give into his whinning or you will end up with a dog that will suffer seperation anxiety and will end up chewing things or going crazy till you come back...

Hi and welcome to the boards....
I completely agree with Charmedagain!! don't give in to the puppy crate him, give him the comfort items. This will only get worse if you give into his whines... And then you will have a puppy that will destroy things and will be a handful!!
I found that a radio helped my dog liked music but when I was using it for my kittens they did best with talk radio.... good luck
