Hello This could be him wanting to be near you, fear of his kennel/environment, anxiety or a combination of those. If you are using a kennel I recommend trying to make it his safe spot- if possible give treats when he goes in willingly or a toy he won't destroy. And while comforting him is a natural reaction it could positively re-enforce the negative behavior/whining so try to only reward Zeus when he is quiet or not resisting the kennel/environment. If that does not work you can also add something like DAP to the environment to help. If that is still not effective you could consider consulting a trainer to work with you one on one on the whining
