What turns your dog on?

[eyeshade]

Reading another post today, it struck me that some dogs do some strange things when they hear certain noises. My shar-pei goes beserk when he hears the church bells ring and stands at the front door wining, he won't do this however when the door bell goes?? He is a rescue so not sure how that all came about. He also goes and hides when a doggie windy pops comes out (its actually really funny) he can't find somewhere quick enough to hide and knows when it is his and not someone elses!!
Do your dogs do funny things?

I play bagpipes and my yorkie used to run around all excited when he saw me take them out and when I started to play he used to sit by my feet and howl like a wolf. He died 2 months ago but he was 16 so didn't do too bad :(

if i say to my min pin "hello" in a high pitch voice he howls like a wof and yelps..he sound like hes saying hello back!!

beanmistriss - I think that your yorkie was probably trying to kill the bagpipes.

I heard a pipe band in our city centre the other day - some of the stuff is really good, but a bagpipe on its own can drive anyone insane.

Sorry to hear about his death though, my cat died in May. He was old too, but you still miss them very much.

My dog barked at a low flying hot-air baloon that passed over my garden, I kinda wondered what he would do if he could catch it !

One of my staffies are crazy about Kites. Especially those ones which look like parachutes. He runs around on the ground looking up at it barking and chasing it. There's no calling him back as he's in a zone.

And Beanmistriss, I love bagpipes

Feel free to come and howl at my feet if you want happy_face, I miss it!

My daughter talks to my dogs in a high pitch voice and the youngest dog howls back at her lifting her head high as she does it.
