Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to correct most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in Glenwood that bark at the sound 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 Glenwood door 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 whining at objects such as a shovel or tractors. These are all things a pet can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Glenwood 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 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 dog when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
If non-stop dog barking 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 Glenwood house.
