Hi Poetmom,
I would say that it’s all in how you receive it as they could be Howling’s of Praise. However if it is impeding your practice you will have to most likely have to remove them out of hearing range.
I have been around Howling dogs that actually sounded in tune with the music but that got everyone laughing so hard we quit playing and the Dog keep howling., so we joined back in.
Fiddle on! Roland
