I have a wonderful lab...hes six years old...affectionate, super obedient however, he howls at 90% of the music he hears on tv....and I mean howls..you have to mute the tv most of the time...it is not just one type either...we have had his ears checked over and over again and have been reassured that they are fine...we have tried several different methods of discipline (like a rolled up magazine)..he knows hes wrong because sometimes he will walk in the other room to howl so he doesnt get yelled at..hes so loveable and so good..but its really annoying...PLEASE HELP!!!! :) thanks
