Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to correct most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in McCook 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 McCook door but you should train them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop barking.
Another concern we hear from pet owners is the barking at objects such as a broom or walkers. These are all items a canine can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your McCook neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable inappropriate dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild shock collar so you can correct your pet from inside the house. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
Most importantly, you must remember that a dog's hearing is over two hundred times better than your hearing. He can hear a squirrel running up a tree. 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.
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 McCook house.
