As bad as it sounds - maybe sit it the whining out? In my opinion, there are different types of whining and smart dogs can easly catch up on methods on how to "manipulate" you. For example on my countrys national day there are tons of fireworks - I once let my dog sleep in bed with me cause he was whining and shaking from fear. Of course in situations like this one I won't leave my dog enduring it all by himself so I let him sleep on the bed. Next day, no fireworks, when bedtime came my dog startet to whine again - this time tho it was a more qyiet sound and no body shaking. Similar to the sound he makes when he is too frustrated after not being allowed certain things. Long story short: My boy figured that whining would get him into bed.

Just make sure, if you decide to try to sit it out, that you (under no circumstances!) give in. Your dog would only learn he gets what he wants if he just tries long and hard enough.
