Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to correct most of the sounds that come from canine pets. Dogs in East Side that bark at the sound of the house's doorbell or a knock on the door need to be taught a greeting ritual. It is their job to bark when a stranger comes to your East Side house but you should teach them that an OK command from you means you have the situation under control and your dog guardian can stop growling.
Another concern we hear from dog owners is the barking at objects such as a broom or tractors. These are all things a pet can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your East Side neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable inappropriate dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild zap collar so you can correct your pet from inside the home. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
It's important for you to remember that a dog's hearing is over two hundred times 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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
