Dog Health Questions: Dog training: Shepard/Chihuahua mix?

My dog is 3 and a half months old and he whines CONSTANTLY. He whines when:

1. He is left outside alone
2. He is put in his kennel
3. He is left inside the house (when I take a shower)

He whines instantly, as in within 5 seconds of being outside alone. I want him to learn that I don't want to be with him constantly when he's outside to go to the bathroom. My friends dog is a bulldog, same age and the dog is fine being alone. But my dog whines like he's being attacked:

1. He starts by whining (a high pitch squealing noise)
2. Then he barks (a small high pitched bark)
3. Then he barks loud (a large, lower pitched bark)
4. Then he shouts kind of like a monkey (i don't know how to explain it)
5. Then he howls (sounds like a wolf pup)

I want him to grow up. I know he's only 3 and a half months old, but he is old enough to stop that by now. I'm tired of hearing him screech and squeal when he's by himself for more than 5 seconds.

How do I get him to stop this?

Why One Size Does Not Fit All In Dog Training

• He's part Chihuahua he may never stop. This is part of there breed. I have a Jack Russell Terrier it drives me crazy how she digs and digs and digs and jumps and jumps and jumps she's a JRT that what she does I gotta love her You may just have to learn to tune out the things that bother you about the bread of dog you have and love the best of her traits.


• Whatever the breed of you dog you need to leave it alone for short periods to start with, then return and reward him for being being quiet. Repeat this a number of times then slowly increase the length of time you stay out of sight.
  Or you could try giving your dog a toy or bone to chew on when you need to leave it alone or something else to keep it occupied.


• this is going to sound nasty but it is very effective.
  every time he make a noice, eaither throw a little water on him, or shake a bottle of pebbles to scare him into shutting up, this worked of both of by dogs and hope it heps yours!
  
  p.s. bark controll collars are also avaliable!


• My dog constantly does this too! Even in the same order! What i do is shake something, like a pencilbox or pebbles and say no. You should not ever respond to this no matter how annoying, but try to change it by discipline


• Take him to a puppy class, they will teach you how to handle the behavior. You are feeding into the bad behavior if you go to him every time he cries


• Shepherd X Chihuahua? Thats like mating an Elephant with an ant!
