At 16 months, your pug is still a pup and demands a lot of attention and work. You may be wearing him out physically, but are you wearing him out mentally? Try some basic commands, and work with him for about 15 minutes, several times a day, like 4-6 times a day, or 8 times a day at 10 minute sessions. He is bored, and that's more than likely contributing to his whining. Does he whine when he's with you, or just when he's in the crate? Try to spend some more quality time with him, but don't coddle his whining, just ignore it, as hard as that may be. If you coddle the whining, you just teach him to whine more to get your attention. Best of luck with your decision.
