Question: puppy doesn’t eat

Hi! I love your podcasts! I just brought my puppy home, and I’ve had lots of success implementing your advice.

Quick question: how do I stop puppy whining? He’s usually quiet during the day (like, hardly makes a sound), but then he’ll whine for 2 hours straight during the night. I’m not sure what to do. We also have a problem because my puppy refuses to eat. We’ve bought about 5 bags of kibble, tried the puppy meals that companies send ready to eat, and even give him salmon, beef, pork, chicken and lamb that we cook. He refuses to eat the all and we have to hand feed him. What should I do?

Thank you!

Listen to The Dog Training Audio Experience!

Erika’s podcast is SO helpful! I’ve been following her on instagram for a little while and just recently learned of her podcast. The topics are so relevant and the information therein incredibly helpful. We struggled for what felt like a long time with our dog we adopted. We used two different trainers, read at least 4 books, and done an absurd amount of research because I felt like I kept getting conflicting information. Erika clearly outlines the topic, gives guidance as to how to handle the topic of the day, and has fun while doing it. Very entertaining while learning. Can’t say enough great things about this podcast. I am no stranger to dogs having raised a Seeing Eye puppy and volunteered with Seeing Eye dogs weekly for another 6 years but learning lots of new information from Erika. Do yourself a favor and listen and share!
