Malone only howls when he is woken from a deep sleep by someone coming to the door or something. when he did it the first time, it was so cute, a deep howl in this tiny puppy body.

I've been trying to teach Malone to speak on command, and the best we have gotten is a low growl. Unfortunately he thinks that whenever he barks, he needs to lunge at you, too. Grrr.
