Low impact play and training is benficial to puppies. Start teaching a sit,down,and come command. Just dont do it often, that will lead to burnout. Play tug and such, do not let your puppy run for long distances, or jump. This can damage their joints. When disucssing how to tire a dog out, we often forget to tire them mentally as well. I've seen people make play jungles out of a pvc pipe square and tie toys to the top, I'd also suggest toys such as kongs, and puzzle toys to help stimulate your puppies mind. Freezing your kong makes it last longer. it seems like you don't have enough stimulation in your dogs play pen, which may be a huge contribution to the whining
Lots of puppy owners deal with some sort of seperation anxiety with their dogs. You must understand that your puppy was just taken away from its mom and siblings, it hasn't been alone a second in his/her life. Ignore the behaviors you dont want, and reward the ones you do. You will not completly iliminate the whining until your puppy adaps & matures.
