My dogs are howling fools! They howl for dinner, playtime, because the neighbor's dogs are howling, the northern lights set them off. They howl because they want to play, want out of the pen, someone they know is in the yard, another dog is in the yard, ect, ect, ect.

Sleet is the only one who howls when she's sad though. When we first got her, she howled for three straight days--laying with her head sticking out of the doghouse and making the saddest sound ever. I finally called her musher and asked for help. She told me to snap a chain on her.....Sleet had always been a working dog and the only time she'd ever been behind a fence before, she was ill. She must have thought we were punishing her. She has never adjusted to being loose behind a fence and still prefers to be on a long cable in the front yard.
