Yowling
No, your dog is not trying to yodel. Yowling means they want to communicate with you. An animal journal writer said this: “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
Yes, dogs eat poop. It might be disgusting, but this is not uncommon behavior. Coprophagia, the act of eating feces, could mean malnutrition. If your dog does it too much, you should go see a vet. Once your vet rules out nutrient deficiency, you might have to seek out a trainer to help break this nasty habit.
