Do greyhounds howl?

Question

Do they howl if they are left alone?

Answer 1

I don't know about full size greyts, but my 6 Italian Greyhounds sure do howl up a storm. Although, it sounds more like.. barrr rarrr rabble rabble.

Answer 2

They sure do!!!there's two that live next door to us, and they could howl for england. It's a really long, loud,mournful sound, and they harmonise together, like they're singing. They do it when they hear the owners pulling up in the drive.
It sets my dog off barking. The man in the pet shop in town used to own a pack of greyhounds in kennels and he said they all howled together at night- they really are great howlers!!!

The suggestion of an obedience class is an excellent one. Read here https://tr.im/zLXs2
It will help your dog learn to behave around other dogs, and help keep your training moving forward as you'll want to be prepared for the next class. Also, a good instructor can be a wonderful resource, someone to help you with any questions or concerns about your dog. Leash training can take a LOT of time and patience, depending upon the dog. I'm not sure what you mean by 'horrible on a leash' but my basic suggestion is that you take a lot of yummy treats with you on walks. When your dog behaves well on the leash (not pulling) praise her and give her treats. Change direction a lot so that she learns to pay attention to YOU and where you are going. It's also helpful to teach a "Watch Me" command such that whenever your dog looks at you you praise her and give her a treat. About chewing, yes a Kong is a great chew toy. Some dogs also like Nylabone brand bones. I suggest also teaching a "Leave It" command. You use this when she shows interest in chewing on something she shouldn't. Then immediately give her something she is allowed to chew, such as the Kong stuffed with somethig yummy. This same command will be helpful on walks when she wants to sniff or eat something she shouldn't. Again, when she does leave the item alone, be sure to give lots of praise. I would look into an obedience class right away. I think that you'll find that a good obedience class can help enormously! Good luck and enjoy your new dog.

Answer 4

Depends on his/her personality. I never thought my German Shepherd could howl until one of my family members told me he howled like crazy whenever I left the house. If you're asking if they can PHYSICALLY howl, then yes. All dogs can howl, most just don't want to.

Answer 5

Both of mine did howl when i left them alone in the house, so my neighbours told me, 1 neighbour actually said it sounded more like they were singing than howling......strange!

Answer 6

Just like you do, I share my world with greyhounds, and I have heard them howl. Greyhounds howl when they are alone, like all other dogs do. Sometimes, they howl when they are happy. Greyhounds probably get happy after winning a running race, eating, playing, going for a walk, or when you say "Food" or "Treat". Other than that, they howl when scared or alone. If you want your greyhound to be happy, play the sound of a cat purring on your laptop, i-pad, nook, i-phone, or phone, or give your greyhound a treat or play with him or her.
