My dog whines on walks

Hi everyone,

Whenever we take our dogs out for a walk, the youngest one (a Malinois x Husky) starts whining. I'm not really sure how to explain it, but he makes these little whimpering noises and we can never stop, otherwise he just carries on crying...

He'll be 1 year old on the 7th of April. What should I do to stop him whining when I put his lead on and while we're out walking?

Thanks a lot to anyone who replies :)

    He’s just bursting with excitement and joy! You need to give him a good run—if you can let him off the lead, throw a ball for him.

    He must be picking up loads of scents, and not being able to go where he wants must be really frustrating for him.

    He seems excited, but he whines from the second we put his lead on until the moment we get back, so he's basically crying the whole time. :/

    Oh.

    Does he seem scared? Or is he excited?

    Good evening,

    He’s whining non-stop—even when we’re standing still, and you can hear him crying the whole time we’re walking :/

    Evening, if he only whines when you've stopped, I think he's just impatient to get going on his walk.

    You need to get him used to being at a standstill, without telling him off or praising him. He needs to understand that it’s just a normal part of the routine.
