Heredity gave dogs voices but there are ways to correct most of the sounds that come from canine pets. Dogs in Elk Grove Village that bark at the noise 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 Elk Grove Village house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop barking.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as a shovel or walkers. These are all items a canine can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Elk Grove Village neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated 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 from a distance. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
It's important for you to remember that a dog's hearing is over 200 times 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.
