just like a small child that cries or has tantrums for attention, you have caused it by responding everytime that they do. Which has resulted in them learning that if they whine you do what they want. to break them of this you simply ignore them when you know that it isn't them having to go out side, had plenty of water etc.

Shepherds seem to be more vocal than some other breeds. They whine, wimpers, moan, woof, grumble and sigh a lot! They are not as noisey as huskies but they are pretty darn close.
You can try just ignoring it or correcting for it. But i wouldn't correct any harder then a firm (Shush!) Like Cesear does. Just a quick non verbal sound that means stop it. Reward for the silence that follows.
And like the other poster mentioned a tire puppy is a quiet puppy. Wear his little butt out with play!

ill try the tireing him, but it wasnt learned weve never rewarded this behavior, he is 4/5 months and has always been ignored, it more @ feeding time, or when he thinks he knows he's going out, ive tryed getting the leash times when i wasnt going to take him out, its like he's genetically a whiner, my female doesnt do it, the ignoreing, and rewarding quiet worked for her..............

I have a very verbal boy also. I will ignore him completely when he is whining. Example, when I put him in a down he rolls , whines , yawns anything to get me to come back. Ignore all of it. As I approach him to reward(with food) the quite behavior, if he does anything else but stay quite, I say a strong no and walk away again. First time training this took 25 minutes before the light bulb came on for him. I am able to put him in a down now with none of the above. This has to be consistent and very black and white for the dog. When I go to get him out of the back yard to load the truck he barks jumps and acts out. Imake him sit and be quite before I can open the gate. If he does not I say no, and turn my back til he behaves. Takes some patience but it can be done.
