    Why does my dog howl when I scream?

    I like playing around with my dog, & I chase her & stuff. But I realized when I scream, she starts howling like a wolf! I think it's funny & I wanna know why in case it's like hurting her ears or something!

    I used to have a dog that did that when people laughed. Laughter didn't seem to hurt his ears or anything, he just did it casually. I think he was just trying to be part of the group. Maybe your dog is just trying to fit in lol

    i wouldn't say hurting her ears, but the high pitch of the scream does that to dogs since there hearing is a few hundred times better than ours

    It's probably a natural reaction, dogs can still howl (since it's instinct) and she probably thinks of you as the alpha so you howl, she howls.

    I don't know if it's right, but it seems possible ^

    When I scream, my dog just attacks me xD
