Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to control most of the sounds that come from man's best friend. Dogs in Forest Park 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 Forest Park house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means you have the situation under control and your dog guardian can stop growling.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or tractors. These are all items a canine can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Forest 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 pet from inside the house. This unacceptable dog behavior can be corrected in a short period of time.
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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
If endless dog barking is an issue you would like to correct, please give Frank Allison, dog behaviorist a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Forest Park house.
