One thing that we would occasionally do (and I don't know if this is a 'correct' thing or not) is if Odie was whining, we'd go near his crate and mooch around pretending to do stuff but ignoring him. It would often calm him enough just us being near, but we're not actually giving him attention so there's (hopefully!) no positive affirmation of him whining. That was my thinking anyway - he's pretty chill in his crate now and will go in on his own accord and not whine when we're not there.

That's similar to what we tried! If we did decide we needed to check on Crumpet when she was crying, we'd make a point to more or less ignore her whilst still being in the same room doing other tasks whilst surreptitiously trying to work out what had upset her (usually the cat being a dick).
