Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to control most of the sounds that come from canine pets. Dogs in South Chicago that bark at the sound of the house'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 South Chicago house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means you have the situation under control and your dog guardian can stop making noise.
Another concern we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or walkers. These are all items a canine can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your South Chicago 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 dog from inside the home. 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 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 dog 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 South Chicago home.
