keikosmum Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi, My puppy is now around 5 months old and doesn't seem to make any noises that I would associate with a husky. Her howling doesn't sound like a howl and only happens when she's angry that we've left her in the room that she stays in and she wants to come with us. The noises that she makes that sound as close to when you hear them 'talking' just sound like a longer version of her cry/howl. It's strange to describe! Anyhow, do they all howl or do some never get to that stage? Is it her age that she can't seem to sound like the other ones i've heard haha? Any advice on encouraging this would be great or letting me know about your experiences with your own dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Some Howl, some "Talk" some are very quiet. some never shut up. My Darwin Woos if he wants to go walkies or food. Daughtry used to Blah, blah or make "I want one" noises but never woo'd or howled. Niether of them bark much, Darwin will occasionally to get Echo to go play in the garden.

Guinnessman Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Logan rarely makes a noise. A very occasional 'woo woo' comes if we are at home. He does a squeaky bark to good friends. But the most rumbly deep woof if he is not happy, so gutteral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Sopi Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Taiga is a complainer and talks a lot and loudly when she's complaining or wants something - Nookie talks when he wants something - attention food etc ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markulous Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 WooWoo (Skye) woos when asked and when she wants something (so loads!) - will howl if encouraged to do so (hears dogs' barking/howling on the computer) Granite talks when asked, growls in play and whimbles if we stop on a walk or when in the car - will howl if encouraged to do so (hears dogs' barking/howling on the computer). Barks at male strangers and if someone comes to the door Luka is silent until he plays and then continually growls - cries when he has SA (rarely now) or when he thinks we're stopping in the car Mila says "I love you" when asked and barks if someone comes to the door The German (GSD) just barks at other dogs - real dogs or TV dogs, she's not fussed!

Jay Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 My Nikko will "talk" or whoo when he's excited but he didn't start until he was like 6-8 months old from what I remember. My other two do a deep growly thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Bear does little howls from time to time. Ice rarely howls. He barks and talks to you when he wants something or is excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keikosmum Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for everyone's input It's helpful to know they're all so different and hopefully once she's a little bit older she'll get a little bit more vocal. I might regret wanting her to be more vocal if she does start talking and howling all the time though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3llyann Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Myia howls and talks typical husky language lol but diesel coos like a pigeon (pigeon is now his nickname) that's not all the time either they are so different and yes I do think you're probably gonna regret saying that lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjk Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 as everyone has said, they are all different, one of mine howls when she is excited, another talks when she is annoyed or excited, and the other one hardly does a thing. occasionally she will howl in response to husky howling videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keikosmum Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 She finally howled properly tonight and sounded as if she was trying to talk back but her voice croaked haha. I think she's only going to get louder and louder ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Chula only really howls when she's outside and the neighbor's dog won't stop barking. She only started doing it a few months ago, and it's really mournful and sad sounding. When she's in the house, she will "talk", or woo and grumble like a proper husky, but she rarely barks unless she's trying to incite play.

Stormy Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Shadow talks when he wants something or Skye has stole his toy! Skye is a cross so she sort of barks/talks it's an interesting sound so funny lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDogLove Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Meeko is my big howler and my fiance encouraged it by giving him treats when he howled so now he never stops! Roux is a woo-er and likes to talk back, she sounds like she says her name a lot when she talks! Leloo howls and barks and Cara will huff if she thinks she sees something outside the window but is otherwise quiet unless rarely joining in on a group howl to be let out of bed in the morning. My Huskies have convinced my Akita that he is one of them and he tries to howl as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SibeHush Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 When I first adopted mine she would talk/bark incessantly if she was bored and wanted attention but after a couple weeks she gave it up all together- what she did to get my attention did the reverse- live and learn. Nowadays she woo's when she's happy to see me and sometimes lets out a growl if we play rough and I shove her back by the chest. Oh, and apparently she lets out a couple short cries when she see's me leave the house and exit the driveway- but I've never heard it.

Austinville Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 My oldest rarely made a sound until we adopted the second. Now she talks all the time - often she is telling the adopted girl off, or to be quiet, or not to play with HER toys. And the rescue? She's not so much a howler or talker, rather, she winds up like a fire siren when she is excited. I love it all. My first boy was always talking about something. But he had no idea he was canine. He would tell us OUT when he wanted out, tell me I LOVE YOU, and call me MOM when he wanted attention. All the girls do is bicker!
