How To Train A Dog To Howl Like A Wolf


Teach your dog to howl like a wolf and show off a trick that is both endearing and impressive.

  1. To teach a howl you have to encourage your dog to be noisy then choose the noise closest to the howl and reinforce it.
  2. If you have previously taught your dog to bark then this will be easier.
  3. As he is barking listen carefully to the sound and watch your dog’s mouth shape for anything that may have the potential to become a howl, reinforce and reward.
  4. Ignore all other behaviors and sounds until you hear and see the potential howl add the command word, reinforce and reward.
  5. Practice will perfect your dogs howl

Top tip; Offering a howl alongside your dog’s sound will probably encourage him to change the pitch of his bark.

A dog trainer loves this trick because dogs howl sounds wonderful, and is amazingly cute.
