Yelping is a sudden, high-pitched cry that indicates the dog has experienced something painful. The fact is, most of the videos we could find that featured a dog yelping were far too depressing to post here (don’t search for it - seriously). It’s important to note that the attached video is a close approximation of the sound that we’re talking about, but it’s not an exact match. Lost dogs may also howl, which we assume is a sign that they desire to be reunited with their families.ĭog howling can also be a sign of separation anxiety, so if you hear your dog howling every time you leave the house, it’s their way of saying that they want to be reunited with their favorite pack member. The fact is that most dogs will only howl if they hear other dog howling sounds or if they hear something that sounds like another dog howling (such as a siren or certain musical instruments). As a result, howling has largely lost its social significance - but not entirely. Modern dogs rarely hunt and kill in packs, and they don’t need to howl to celebrate vanquishing the kibble that you poured into their bowl. When they were domesticated, a greater emphasis was placed on teaching dogs to bark, as that behavior was more beneficial to humans because it warned of intruders. While they have things in common with their ancestors, dogs are not wolves. They’ll often howl together after a successful hunt, for example. In the wild, wolves howl in order to find their pack if they become separated or as a social function to create a sense of belonging within the group. Howling is a behavior that dogs inherited from their wolf ancestors.
You’ll have to rely on your dog’s other behavioral cues for your answer. This is especially common in bully breeds, and it can be quite nerve-wracking, as it’s hard to tell when to let your dogs play versus when to make them stop. Some pups will growl when they’re happy, like when they’re playing tug of war. There is one exception to the “growling is a bad sign” rule. As a result, you shouldn’t punish your dog for growling instead, address whatever behavior is causing them to growl. It’s far worse to have a dog that lashes out with no warning whatsoever. A dog who’s growling is giving you advance notice that they’re not happy, so you can change your behavior before you get attacked.
It’s a dog’s way of warning you that they’re losing their patience with something you’re doing and that their next step will be to lash out.Īs paradoxical as it may sound, though, growling is a good thing - or at least it’s better than the alternative. Unlike barking, growling usually only signifies one thing: Watch out.
