Question
DEAR DAWN
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY TWO SHEPERDS DOGS ARE ALWAYS HOWLING THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE OWEND DOGS BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE ALWAYS HOWLING ESPECIALY AT NIGHT IT DRIVES ME CRAZY.


Answer
Hi Rosie,  Dogs will howl at night to communicate.  Some dogs do it find a mate others do it out of lonliness.  It's hard to say why yours are doing it, but what you can do to teach them to stop is spray a hose at them everytime they howl and tell them no.  Soon they will figure out that if they howl they will get corrected with the hose.  Hope this helps,

Dawn
