Two German Shepherd Pups Start Friday Morning With Howls!

These German shepherd pups have decided that the best way to start Friday morning is to howl away like no one’s business! Look at them howling to each other like there’s no tomorrow!

Harley and Koda are two adorable German shepherd pups who’ve decided to howl Friday morning away! Howling is very natural and many fur balls do it, but do you know why they howl and if there’s any way to stop it?

According to WebMD, “Howling is one of many forms of vocal communication used by dogs. Dogs howl to attract attention, to make contact with others and to announce their presence. Some dogs also howl in response to high-pitched sounds, such as emergency vehicle sirens or musical instruments.”

Is there any way to stop if the howling gets too excessive? They continue to say, “…try teaching your dog to be quiet when you ask him to. First, say “Speak!” and try to get your dog to bark or howl. (Knocking on a wall or door usually works well.) Praise your dog when he starts making noise-but DO NOT give him a treat or toy. Then say “Hush” or “Quiet.” The moment your dog stops barking or howling for a second or two, quickly say “Good!” and give him a tasty treat. Repeat this sequence over and over, slowly stretching out the time that your dog must be quiet before earning his goodie. At first, one second of silence can earn him a treat. After he’s successfully mastered that step, increase the time to three seconds. If he’s successful again, increase the time to five seconds, then ten seconds, then 20 seconds, and so on.”
