Oh yes, but it is not natural for some of them.  Years ago when we moved here 
(25 years) we are near a railroad track.  When the train blew its whistle 
there was one old dog who would howl.  The rest of the dogs followed suit.  
Then the dogs started howling when they heard the train coming way down the 
tracks, just the rumble of the train on the tracks is their signal to start 
now.  

Our old Beau started it all and every dog since has joined in.  It is funny 
as some have a real problem making the sound and the sound that exits is very 
humorous.  But they all howl two or three times per day.  We know when the 
train is coming way before anyone else as they start when they hear it, which 
all of you know if much before we humans can hear it.
