If a dog's ear was so painfully sensitive to loud noise, why on earth would they make even louder, more shrill noises to drown out the noise they hear? A dog howl is simply a vocalization, just like a human yell. They howl/bay to show excitement (cheer), to greet or call others (long-distance), to entertain themselves or others (singing), to lament (mourn). Dogs in physical pain will yelp, pant, or whimper... but not typically howl. Especially not because of sensitive ears.
@Copperbat Thanks for the clear explanation! It's so nice to see supportive comments; not ones from people who tell me I'm an idiot for harming my loved ones...
It's so annoying how in practically every video of a dog doing something, there's these idiots who always assume that people are hurting their own dogs.
Anyways, that's an awesome dog, and a really good violinist ^^
@Afroded Awww, thanks for the positive comment! I really appreciate it! Miku paws at the door to come in when I practice because he LOVES it so much. There is really no way he's trying to tell me to shut up.
@Afroded: While I agree, the untrained and ignorant eye will see it that way. It's natural to feel this way because there are videos where the dogs are hurting somehow.
Read the dogs body language. If it were in pain the dog would #1 leave and #2 fold it's ears back and have more of a whiny bark. Shiba Inu's are known to be rather vocal.
This is clearly just it's way of singing along with the music.

Stupid, The dog don`t like that noice from the violin becose it gives them (any dog) very much pain in the ear. Everkiind of dog will ""sing" to that noice.
Stop that shit and you have a more lesser tortured dog.
@jrbigelow Is not only true, it`s a fact. Almust every dog vill "sing" for you if they are torture whith noice from a harmonica, violin even som times from the siren from the ambulance..
Even so i am not an idiot but a doktor nos and ear specialist whit 2 dogs, 1 Akita and 1 Shiba.
@Kalle4211 Incorrect. Dogs howl because they are "singing with their pack." It has been scientifically proven that it does not hurt them. If it did hurt them, they would remove themselves from the source of the noise, i.e. leave the room, rather than stay there and bark at it.
Sometimes dogs will howl when they hear sirens or other loud higher pitched sounds like clarinets and flutes. These sounds may even come from a television set. Dogs do this as an instinctive response to hearing what they interpret to be another howl (dog in the distance). They are not doing this because it hurts their ears.
@Kalle4211 Oh, so that's why the dog walked up to the violinist. That dog looks healthy and loved, a TORTURED dog, would look skinny, beaten, and abused.
lol i played piano when i was little (well little up to 14). Mine would always sing , in the beginning he was scared but after a while he got comfortable, especially when i played fast paced songs.
Now i play the drums (16) and again, same deal, he was scared now he LOVES it, but i never let him get too close i'm scared it might damage his hearing so he sings from the second floor :D
lmao... fun to watch dogs vocalizing.
