how to help puppy stop whining?

I know that i have been asking a LOT of questions in the dog section lately… anyways… We got a puppy last sunday, and so far his housetraining and everything else is going really well except for that he whines all night. He will stop for about ten minutes and then whine for ten more. Then the rest of the day he doesn’t make any noise because his throat is so sore. I know that puppies whine at night and that doesn’t bother me, but I would have thought that by now he would have given up on whining so much. We’ve figured out that he doesn’t have to go outside, since when we wake up to take him he won’t go and if we don’t wake up to take him, his kennel is clean in the morning. Are there any ways that we can help him settle in better and calm down at night?
Oh I forgot to mention, it isn’t even whining anymore. It’s barking and howling, so it is getting a little annoying, but I’m not about to say that I can’t keep him because he’s too loud at night.

Is your puppy being crate trained? If so, try putting a ticking clock in the crate with him/her. It sounds like mother’s heartbeat and often helps as well as adding a warm blanket and other comforting things. Also, use treats for positive reinforcement. Take your puppy outside. Don’t just let them out and leave them, go out with your puppy and give them a treat for doing their business with lots of praise. Puppies need a very regimented schedule. You may have to set an alarm to get up at the same time everyday and take him/her out. I know that sounds like a lot but having a puppy is a lot like having a baby. Once you use the positive reinforcement and implement a regimented schedule you’ll see a huge change pretty quickly. I hope this helps.
