Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to control most of the sounds that come from canine pets. Dogs in Crestwood that bark at the noise of the family's doorbell or a knock on the door need to be taught a greeting ritual. It is their job to bark when an unknown person comes to your Crestwood door but you should train them that an OK command from you means everything is fine and your protector can stop barking.
Another complaint we hear from dog owners is the whining at objects such as a shovel or wheelchairs. These are all things a pet can learn to live with quietly. Running fence lines and barking at your Crestwood neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated bad 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 from a distance. 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 the sound of a child riding a tricycle several houses away. He will respond with his voice. You just need to learn how to teach your canine when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
