Porter howls if you play B FLAT

[Melissa & Porter]

Just thought some of you might want to try this out.  I love when Porter sings with my son's trombone practice.  B flat is the note that inspires him.

We need a video!

My last dog howled when James Dean imitated a siren in "Rebel Without a Cause", lol. I wish I knew what note that was!

I'm not sure how to get my best video from my phone to the computer.  Ridiculous, I know.  I could put it directly on youtube, I suppose, but I don't want my son on youtube. 

I'll have to get a video on just Porter.

lol about James Dean's siren.  My friend's golden-collie does fire engine sirens.

That's funny! Would love to see the video.  Finney falls dead asleep to Bach (very useful when we travel), howls when a baby cries, and has his nose to the computer screen if I play the Chipmunk Christmas Song.  LOL

[Melissa & Porter]

lol at the chipmunks.  I wonder what the attraction is.

I love to hear a dog howl. Our last Golden would howl at sirens but then look embarrassed like, "What just came out of my mouth!" We tried to encourage him to continue but he would just lay his head in shame. It was a riot!

[Melissa & Porter]

ha ha it's odd what they seem to get embarrassed by. 

I have been trying to praise Porter when he howls in hopes of getting him closer to being able/willing to do it on command.  The very first time he howled was in his sleep...adorable and primal :-) 

He cries and moans a lot too.  #1 is when he sees a man in our path who doesn't have a dog.  Also when I leave the house (my kids/husband/mom have all told me about this and once I heard it through the window.)

Cute!  I agree that we need a video.

Wow - just a B flat??  that's interesting!!  I'd love to see video!!

[Melissa & Porter]

I created a new thread with a link to a video.

It turns out more notes than b flat make him howl.  And we got him to accompany my other son's flute, so that'll be my next video. 

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Where is the link to the video?
