Re: Correcting whining

Get him to focus his attention on something else (a stuffed Kong, a chew toy, a Buster cube with his meal inside, anything that occupies his mind and is self-rewarding). You can't just say "don't be anxious", as you already know, you need to focus that energy somewhere else, on something that doesn't provoke anxiety.
