Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are certainly things that you can do to help with this. One thing that can help is taking him for long walks and playing with him often. Another thing that may help is getting him plenty of toys that he can play with instead of whining. Part of this really is just a puppy thing that will eventually go away on its own but hopefully these things can help with this issue. Good luck and have a good night!
