YES, well not as softly as your pups, I wish! and I hate it because then he gets on a branch at the park, or his spring pole, he makes such a racket my neighbors come out to see if I am beating him or something. I am always like oppps sorry for bothering you, just my crazy pup mad at the trees again. I am torn too. I know he is just having fun and doesn't mean anything, but I wish he would not do it.
Here is a video I took so you could see what I am talking about. Normally he does not get bloody and I don't let him randomly attack trees and kill them, for the record. Buster is a Tibetan spaniel who we had not seen since the fall. Winter hibernation stinks

Busters parents were not home, usually he breaks out and finds us and I have to figure out how to get him back on his second floor porch.
