Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to correct most of the sounds that come from canine pets. Dogs in Bellwood that bark at the noise of the house's doorbell or a knock on the door need to be taught your preferred doggy behavior. It is their job to bark when a stranger comes to your Bellwood door but you should train them that an "okay" from you means you have the situation under control and your protector can stop growling.
Another complaint we hear from dog owners is the whining at objects such as a broom or tractors. These are all items a dog can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Bellwood neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable bad dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild zap collar so you can correct your dog from inside the home. This unacceptable dog behavior can be corrected in a short period of time.
Most importantly, you must remember that a dog's hearing is over 200x better than your hearing. He can hear your car coming from over a block away. 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 proper command.
If your dog's behavior problem is an issue you would like to correct, please give Frank Allison, dog behaviorist a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Bellwood house.
