Guest Anonymous Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 is it normal for some dogs to howl when they hear a siren of an ambulance???just wondering thnx Quote
Shannon_C Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Yes its normal, for unknown reason whenever some dogs hear a siren they do howl. I have heard that many years ago, people used to think that when a dog howls after hearing sirens, they could see death, my friends dog used to howl when he heard sirens and would shake. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 20, 2002 Posted April 20, 2002 every dog i've had has always howled at sirens. the 'pack' I have now sometimes just cocks thier ears, but I encourage them to howl, lol. I used to think the sound must hurt thier ears, but now I'm not so sure, as they sometimes do and sometimes don't. Quote
JackieMaya Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Jackie, my black Golden mix, howls at sirens. Once she was in the back seat of my SUV when an ambulance drove by, and she stuck her head out the window and started howling! And she howls at the monthly tornado siren test. Maya, my yellow Golden, just looks at her wondering why she's howling. I'll try to attach a picture of Jackie howling at the monthly tornado siren.

Pumpkin the musher Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 My alaskans howl at sirens, coyotes, wolves, and the sound of my husbands' motorcycle. They can hear it when he is over 3 miles away- and it's not a loud bike. They also howl at each other or for each other- not alot, and the howl jam only lasts about 30 seconds to a minute. I kind of like it. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 you will have to get your-self a pair of ear-plugs :D LOL Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 There are eight dogs in my house. Every single freaking one of them howls at sirens. We live right by a major four lane US highway which has at least daily episodes of emergency vehicles going by. Not TOO bad during the day, but at 3 am... :o Quote
Pumpkin the musher Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 I hear ya... I know a musher who said that dogs have never stopped howling since the beginning of canine history- That first dog howled, then the next dog howled , and the same howl has been circling the earth ever since... Quote
luckychaos Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Chaos is only 4 1/2 months old and she already howls at sirens and when they are testing the fire alarms. Quote
snowdogs Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 :scatter: Hey my 2 huskies howl all of the time when they hear the sirens. It is quite funny. It scared me the first time they did it. Quote
