Dog howls day and night

I have a 6 yr old bull mastiff. He has started howling any time from 10.00 at night to any time of the morning. Sometimes 3.00 and 4.00 in the morning.He has never done this before. the howling has just started. Even when we are home.

Answer: Dog howls day and night
He's lonley. Just as simple as that. Considering it is a consitant howl I would assume he's isn't just responding to a far off siren or similar. First thing you might like to try and purchasing a cheap little clock radio and placing it on a quite level near where he sleeps outside. Might trick him in to thinking he has company. Would you consider moving him inside if he was crate trained? This may work wonders, as he will be inside and feel part of the family / pack although confined to his crate. Check out the main Ask Bec for crate training tips. Highly suggested.
