Why does my 4 month old Dachshund whine when I give him a busy bone and looks for a place to hide it and other times he just chews until it is gone?

This is a behavior I have not seen.

When a dog doesn't want to eat something, his pack instinct tells him to hide or bury it so he will have it when he is hungry. You will notice your dogs try to hide things under rugs or blankets, or even when it looks like they are trying to dig on a rug or carpet or a bed, they just want to stash it for later. This is why. Also, plenty of dogs really do bury things in holes.
