Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in Englewood that bark at the sound 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 Englewood door but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop barking.
Another concern we hear from dog owners is the whining at objects such as a shovel or rakes. These are all items a dog can learn to live with quietly. Running fence lines and barking at your Englewood neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated bad dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild zap collar so you can correct your canine 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 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 canine when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
