Welcome to Gaia! ::

My dog is always whinning any tips. It's not like a pain whinning(we took her to the vet and she's fine) it's like a bored let me out whine but we don't want her tearing the house apart and if she's outside she like to try and get out if we keep our other dog inside!

What type of dog is she?

Often a dog continues a behavior because she has been rewarded for it. The reward may be physical (such as a treat) or emotional (some response from the owner, such as attention or a pat, etc). Once a dog has been rewarded for a behavior, she will persist at the behavior ten times longer than a behavior that has never been rewarded. The bad thing is that as owners, we can frequently inadvertently reward negative behaviors. Then the dog persists at the negative behavior and it becomes a problem.

In your dog's case, she has whined and received reward for it. She gets attention ("Is something wrong, girl?), to go outside, and other perceived rewards. I am sure this is not what is intended, but she now thinks that whining is a good way to communicate with you that she wants attention.

Now what we need to do is change the behavior. Keep in mind the mantra: correct, redirect, reward.

If she whines, give her a correction. This is not an alpha roll over or a physical reprimand. Just a firm "NO"

Immediately follow this with an appropriate command. "SIT," "Get your toy," "Quiet," or "Outside" would be appropriate. What ever you would prefer she would be doing.

As soon as she follows the appropriate command, give her praise.

If she has been doing this as an attention seeking behavior, I would recommend using sit, then praise, then tell her to get a toy or something. That way she learns to come over and sit or come over and give a toy as a way to elicit attention.

Good luck with this.

Yep. The thinner the cat, the louder the purr is going to be. Cats do seem to be able to control the volume of their purr. Kittens also purr louder than adults.

Enjoy that purr! It has health benefits for humans.
