What does your dog do when you are practicing? Mine leaves the room.

When my golden retriever was a pup, he stayed in the room but insisted on howling. Many years later after having his ears boxed back by repeated shrill sounds his ears would merely twitch.

My dog tries to stay but she usually leaves after my first squeak or if I'm playing in the upper register for too long. She doesn't mind bass clarinet, violin, piano, or oboe though. Flute she's usually ok with, she absolutely does not like sax though.

For some reason my German Sheppard did not like the low E on a Bb clarinet. All other notes did not bother him.

My first dog, a mini Dachshund seemed to like classical music and would fall asleep under my chair while I played. My second dog, same breed, cries and howls when I first warm up but after a while either sleeps or sits up and watches. Thank goodness this behavior has improved.

Yea, mine are slugs. They all wake up, get off the sofa and come hang with me. They literally are by my practice chair (usually touching me) sound asleep.
When I poop out and quit playing, I get the bewildered looks of "why did you stop"?
I figure they're all crazy. Now my new kitten takes great joy when I throw a crappy reed on the floor and he swats it around while I'm playing.
So, if I'm not scaring the animals, perhaps it's not as bad as I think. LoL.

We have 4 dogs that howl and bark at anything ... each encourages the other. So, the first couple of minutes of warm-up are pretty noisy around my house.
Seriously considered building a practice room/man-cave/ham radio/editing suite/electronics shop/cat naping/beer drinking building apart from our house. Only the expense has stopped me ...

If it is choice between Eb clarinet and thunder, prefers Eb🙉

My E-flat playing was starting to de-calcify my wife's spine and cause paint to peel from the walls, so I had to give it up ...

When I was a kid, my brother's lovable runt Cocker Spaniel used to sing along with any musical instrument. She even lounged under our baby grand piano and sang along with that. I describe what Silkie did as singing because she didn't seem distressed and because, believe it or not, she usually sang a drone tone that harmonized, in a dissonant sort of way, with the key of the music the human played. We got a huge kick out of listening to her accompany my Aunt Mary, a coloratura opera singer! At first we were afraid Aunt Mary might be offended, but nope -- she leaned in Silkie's direction and flung out her arms dramatically during their duets.

Cats! My cat would drape herself on the piano when I played but would leave for any other instrument.
