No, your dog isn’t trying to yodel. When dogs yowl, they’re trying to communicate with you. An animal journal writer once said, “Our German Shepherd rescue, the sweetest dog we have ever owned (unless you happen to be a cat), is 9. She ‘talks‘ about everything! Grumbles, over being denied a cat lunch, has 5-minute conversations over going out for a walk, exchanges pleasantries (you would swear) over how happy she is to see someone.”

Eating Feces

Yeah. Dogs eat poop. It does seem disgusting, but it’s not uncommon. Coprophagia, the act of eating poop, might mean malnutrition. If your dog does this too much, go see a vet. Once the vet rules out malnutrition or a nutrient deficiency, you might have to find a trainer to help break the habit.
