Why does my puppy howl and wine so much?

Also we want to try to get him used to staying outside with the other dogs but all he does is cry. Any advice on this? 2 questions 1) Since we got him he howls and wimpers

2) Advice on getting him used to sleeping outside

Update:

I give him a bunch of attention already i mean i stay home all day with him. Play with him and everything. He gets along with the other dogs i just don't know how to get him to sleep outside with them.

Based on how old the puppy is, it may not be comfortable setting for him to be outdoors alone <in his mind> yet. I would first purchase a kennel/crate for him to sleep in - let him stay in the house for the next month or so. Keep him in the kennel/crate unless you can watch him 100% of the time. Take this time to housebreak the puppy too. When you remove him from the kennel don't greet him take him immediatly outside and when he does his business praise him. Do this everyday, after you come inside again, play if your schedule permits, if not feed him then wait about 10 minutes and take him outside again. He will relate to doing his business outside.

After a month or so has passed, move the kennel/crate outdoors, follow the same routine as indoors, take him out to do his business, praise him, then feed him etc.

The kennel/crate becomes his safe place, indoors or outdoors, he will feel safe and secure after he gets accustomed to it. Moving it outdoors will only be the next step, you will have to watch his interaction with the other dogs, maybe one of the older dogs scares him. If this is the case the older dog needs to be put into his/her place and learn not to be mean to the puppy.

All this takes time and you will have to have a great deal of patience - the younger the pup the longer it will take.

All time invested will give you a huge return in a well adjusted adult dog.

#1 - He is in need of mothering and since he is no longer with his 'mother' you are it. Spend quality time with him.

#2 - Why do you want him outside? Outside dogs usually end up very lonely, unsocial around humans, and not house broken. Crate train him inside. Did you get the dog for companionship? If so ... be his companion.
