Default Training to Sing/Howl...

This might be a little weird for a trick but

I am the type of person that just .. sings... a lot. lol. random made up stuff you know.

anyways, ive seen plenty of dogs sing along with people before (like videos) even had a friend who had a dog that would howl/sing along with her.

so im trying to get my little guy to try to howl first on command...

ive tried howling myself like a dog, and also having my husband join in howling too (i think we literally sat there howling for about an hour) but he doesnt catch on. he just barked back at us (like a normal speak).

i think hes trying though, but he just barks like normal and i dont want to reward him for that, cause then he will think hes doing it right.

in fact, he has -never- howled before. he can whine (not on command though), and bark (on command) like normal, but he has never carried out a long bark or howl.

so, since i cant catch him howling and put a word on it, how can i teach him to howl?

thanks :P
