We once had a dog that howled if it heard anyone playing the bagpipes on television, but that seems like a reasonable reaction, bagpipes make me want to howl too! Have you tried changing the ring tone on the phone?

Howling
Fortunately I have not had a dog that howled, but an elderly relative of mine has a little dog that howls when the phone rings and occasionally when the other dogs start barking. She stops as soon as she is told but it keeps happening. In other respects she is a happy and well behaved dog, she was adopted from a re-homing centre about 2 years ago. Any suggestions for dealing with this please?
