howling

chris: How do I get my Alaskan Malamute to howl more often? What should I do if my dog doesn't howl? My dog, Meeka, is an Alaskan Malamute and I love it when she howls but she howls like once or twice in the winter. Can I make her howl on command or is there anything I can do to make her howl?
