Why does my dog howl when I leave?
As we have seen, one of the main reasons why dogs howl when their human companion leaves is because they feel very lonely . The howl of loneliness occurs when the animal really feels a deep sense of insecurity, that it will never see its human companion again and, in short, that it has been left alone where it is and, many times, without having a exit.
When they feel extremely lonely, and may even feel that they have been abandoned even though they are in their usual home, they express their state and seek help with long, loud howls that can travel miles to the ears of other dogs, so it is not strange that a neighbor warns us that when we are not there our pet howls in this way. This behavior is very common in dogs that are tied up or locked up in a small space with a shed in warehouses, industrial buildings and country houses to act as guardians.

So if you wonder why my dog howls when he is alone, ask yourself now if the conditions in which you have him are really optimal for him or if they can be improved and remedy it. Make sure NOT to leave him alone, tied up or with his muzzle on, something that some owners do thinking that this will make him calmer and quieter, when in reality it would only increase his nervousness and sadness, as well as prevent him from drinking or eating during the hours he is alone. So, more than a remedy to the problem of howling and destroying them when he is alone, it is actually a risk to his mental and physical health.
