I am sooo glad Mine aren't the only ones that Howl.
this is what I was told.
Some dogs will howl because of separation anxiety. But Personally I look at it this way. Yorkies are for the most part dogs and dogs are descendents of Wolves. Now Wolves will howl when they are separated from their pack members to let them know where they are so that the missing pack member can find them. I tend to believe this is the case with my 4. If I am out of their sight for about an hour and they know I am still in the house my boys will start howling, they have taught Friday this also. They have each other upstairs so they aren't bored, I leave the TV on for them while I am at work. My Mother in law says they are quiet all day up until I get home. But seeing as I am the pack leader as soon as I come home they Howl to me to let me know where they are so I can find them. They are so happy when I open the door that they nearly fall all over each other to greet me. Maggie is the oldest and thankfully she controls herself when they start howling. Thankfully I live in a house so I don't have to control it. Besides I like to hear them howl.
