Some dogs make more noise than others. So, before you get a pit bull, you probably want to know whether they can howl?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pitbulls can howl, although they are not known to do it a lot. Pit bulls are generally not a noisy breed, but if necessary, they will make a noise \u2014 when they are alarmed or scared. Of course, this will depend on a specific dog, and some owners have reported howling.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to know more about the noises that pit bulls make, as well as causes for these noises, you should read on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, pit bulls are not the breed to make a lot of noise. They rarely howl in the true sense of the word, and they rarely bark. If you hear your pitbull barking, it\u2019s a good sign that you need to check it out. They will only bark if something is not right, and they feel alarmed by it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Howling<\/a>, in a similar fashion, is a trait of other dogs like Huskies, Dachshunds, Bloodhounds, Eskimo dogs, etc. These dogs will be very noisy, and you can expect them to make a lot of noise. But pit bulls will not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, wolves howl because they are signaling loneliness and that they are looking for a mate. A regular dog may howl to signal the same thing. They may feel lonely, anxious, sad, stressed, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if your pitbull is howling, they may be showing you that they are not okay. But if you care for them well enough, you will not hear any howling. Pit bulls are more likely to make certain noises that seem like they imitate human speech. They will usually do this if they are happy to see you when you come back home, before you give them treats, if they want to go outside, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, if your pitbull is howling despite all odds and the proper care, here are some reasons<\/a> why that may be happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you\u2019ve never heard your dog howl, but your neighbors keep complaining that they make this noise when you\u2019re not around? You may have a separation anxiety problem<\/a>. All dogs can suffer from this, and it\u2019s a relatively difficult problem to solve, depending on the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPit Bulls and Howling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
