Yowling
No, this is not your dog’s way of trying to yodel. They yowl to communicate with you. According to an animal journal writer, “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. Even though it is disgusting, this behavior is not uncommon. The act of eating feces is called Coprophagia, and it could mean malnutrition. If you notice your dog doing it too much, we recommend you go see a vet. If nutrient deficiency is ruled out, you might want to get the services of a trainer who can help your dog give up this nasty habit.
