Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in River Forest that bark at the sound of the family's doorbell or a knock on the door need to be taught your preferred doggy behavior. It is their job to bark when an unknown person comes to your River Forest door but you should teach them that an OK command from you means everything is fine and your protector can stop growling.
Another concern we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or walkers. These are all items a pet can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your River Forest neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated inappropriate dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild shock collar so you can correct your canine from inside the house. This unacceptable dog behavior can be corrected in a short period of time.
It's important for you to remember that a dog's hearing is over 200 times better than your hearing. He can hear his dog food being taken out of the car truck in the garage. He will respond with his voice. You just need to learn how to teach your dog when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
