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!

Yes!

Very helpful podcast. The online program requiring paid membership (more depth, slower going) is very helpful too. Both are repetitive, and in combination even more so, but I have found this to be good in this instance.

I started with the most recent of the 170 podcast episodes, and after 10 or so switched to the beginning episodes so they play one after another automatically. Of the first 30 episodes, only two were not helpful, and only because there are no children or other pets in my home. The other 28 episodes were helpful even though I have also attended two full courses of the online program. So as the host Amy would say, “Yes!”
