We found out when Westin was a puppy that if we left him in his crate, he was fine if he knew we were around, but if we were gone he would HOWL for hours. When we started leaving the radio or our iTunes playlists on for him he stopped completely (with much appreciation from our neighbors!). The same thing happened when we started to leave him out of his crate, but contained in a small area with toys, crates and blankets (howling without music, calm when it was on).
