howling dog

As soon as I blow the first notes out of my clarinet, my 4 pound Chihuahua/Yorkie mix in the other room turns his back to the sound, lifts his snout to the heavens and utters a low, guttural howl. If I stop playing to listen, he stops. And as soon as I start, so does he. This goes on for maybe the first 5 minutes of playing and then he stops.

What really burns me is that I've been working hard on Mozart's clarinet concerto, doing fairly well with it, and he even howls when I play that!

I'm wondering if the music actually bothers him or if it's a throwback to his wolf ancestors. Anyone experience this?
