Have you seen Barney's debut YT performance? Some dogs who have watched the video on here have howled and started to sing as well. Try playing it for your baby and see if he catches on. If he does it, tell him he is a good boy and stick a cookie in his mouth. I don't know if it will work, but you never know.
