Whining

Hello!

I think I have a problem with my staffy. At first i thought its because he was stel a pup but now hes 15months old and nothing has changed. its when we go for drinks or when he is on a leesh and we stand steel because am talking to someone or whatever the reason might be, he is whining constantly. its ok if we go for a walk or at home or if hes of the leesh, but as soon as we stop or go for drink and he has to stay all hell break loose whine whine whine, i cant talk or enjoy the drink, i tried treats(good until hes finish it), tried to be hard wit him(good for 30sec), tried with toy(1min max), no resalts.... beside that hes a prfect dog, was schooled, knows commands, loves people and other dogs, no problems other than that, so please if anyone had any similar problems would realy apriciate the help..

Seems to me like the dog has gotten into a bad habit of attention seeking but it has also become a habit when the whining begins say firmly but don't shout quiet soon as she stops whining give her a treat and plenty of encouragement. Then id space the time out between the whining stopping and giving a treat eventally in time you will be able to highly praise the dog without the treat

I agree, he is also in the teenage phase and trying to push boundaries
