Yes, puppies will whine when they are excited or happy. This sounds normal. Try to ignore the whining when he does it. If you make a big deal about it you will be reinforcing the behavior and it is not really a desirable behavior. It is cute when they are puppies but it will be really annoying when he is an adult!
