My dog is acting weird and hes whining like he wants to go out. But then I try to get him to go out and he wont go. I dont know if hes scared because its wet outside or what. But hes acting like all the sudden hes scared to go outside. What could be his problem?

Some dogs do not like to get their paws wet..They could love swimming but hate to get wet paws.
Also are there any thunderstorms around? Dogs can sense them before we can see or hear them and some are terrified of them

Yes my dog is very scared of thunderstorms and a little while ago we had a very big one with hale and high wind. So maybe he sensed it coming.

maybe he wants you to take him for a walk, or
he hears something outside and he wants that, but he doesn't want to go outside.

If it is wet outside he might not like getting wet. Whenever we get rain my dogs don't like to go outside. He may also have been startled by something new outside. Put him on a leash and see if he will go for a walk with you. You will both have fun.

Weird cute dog. 
Probably he would like to go outside with you. Go ahead and walk with your dog. Well, I think you really have to wait until it gets drier outside. Not all dogs love a puddle of mud.

I finally got him to go out with some coaxing. I took him out on the leash. Once at side he seemed to lose his fear.

we havent had a dog in years so I am not sure why he would be acting like that, but it could be due to the wet ground... but I hope that you figured it out and that it got better for him and you...LOL

My dog hates to go outside when it's raining. She's gone a whole day without going out before. I don't know why because if we've got the hose out there she's playing in it!
