Why Is Your Dog Howling?

Are you getting complaints from neighbors about your dog being too loud? This can be a difficult and frustrating issue to deal with. In some cases, the dogs are fairly quiet when their humans are home, and only vocalize when left alone.

When dealing with any behavioral issue in pets, it’s always important to get to the root of the issue. In this case, the behavior is often related to dogs’ innate pack mentality. Our canine pals naturally see themselves as part of a pack. In this case, you are your pet’s pack. Fido may get distressed when separated from his packmates (you). He may speak up to let you know where he is.

One thing that may help is doggy daycare. You can also have someone stop by to walk your dog while you’re out. Or, get him a buddy!
