Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from canine pets. Dogs in Riverside 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 Riverside house but you should train them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop growling.
Another complaint we hear from dog owners is the whining at objects such as a broom or rakes. These are all things a pet can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Riverside neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable inappropriate 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. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
It's important for you to 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 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 Riverside house.
