Sanas K: Oscar STILL has his bouts of whining. Actually, now we're hearing alot of it while we are home with him. We have a large area (2 rooms & hallway) sectioned off for him to roam freely while we're home(I'm trying to keep him off at least ONE of our carpets!!). If one of us steps out...

How about this sweetie?? Oscar is an 8-week-old long haired minature dachshund.

The 'screaming' is dimminishing. It seems like as the days go by, and the more I ignore, he is whining a little less. Don't get me wrong, he still cries ... but he's learning that we are not giving in to his whimpering. So, my advice would be ... just tough it out! Don't give in (I know...
