Cavallino Silver asked:
There’s a bit of a thunder storm taking place here in Bordeaux. I must say that it’s spectacular to me because I had never been awaken by thunders back in my home country, Peru. So I remembered that my old basset used to howl like a wolf whenever he heard thunders. Is this common among bassets? Or among dogs in general? Or was my basset really a long eared and very short wolf?
no not at all if you have um at a puppy and train them not to then they wont
Sometimes dogs will howl when they hear sirens or other loud higher pitched sounds like clarinets and flutes. These sounds may even come from a television set. Dogs do this as an instinctive response to hearing what they interpret to be another howl (dog in the distance). They are not doing this because it hurts their ears.
