My dog will be ten in March. She is healthy and will run down the long hall in my apartment building. Lately, however she has started the irritating habit of whining. If I stop anywhere while walking her she will whine ( when I stop I will be talking to other people), it really started with that a few months ago, now whenever I cook she will whine (for food). She is getting fed enough and has even gained weight in the past few months. Tonight I told her to lay down when the whining started. I really want to give her a little piece of steak, but am getting sick of the whining. Otherwise, no problems. She has extra biscuits on the floor now to eat as needed. She seems to eat those only when I'm out. Two other brands I give to her occasionally. Like any dog she will eat nonstop. By the way I had to feed her canned when I got her a year ago - the person who had her passed on - she refused to eat dry - wouldn't eat for five days plus... She's very smart, housebroken and well-trained and is a Cairn Terrier mix... any advice would help - I don't know much about dog training.
Choosing an Online Dog Training Program
Recommended Answer:Whining often signals pain. Witha 10 year old i would suspect arthritis. Running , lying down hurts.
I use a heated dog bed, glucosamine/chondroitin supplements and pain meds from the vet.
Sounds like a Senior dog Wellness check is needed.

- Perhaps your dog has some sort of condition, like arthritis? She's getting up in years, and sometimes arthritis can be painful. Perhaps your vet can help.
