Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in Evergreen Park that bark at the noise of the family'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 Evergreen Park house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop growling.
Another concern we hear from dog owners is the barking 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 Evergreen Park 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 two hundred 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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
If your dog's behavior problem is an issue you would like to correct, please give Frank Allison, dog trainer a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Evergreen Park home.
