Heredity gave dogs voices but there are ways to correct most of the sounds that come from man's best friend. Dogs in Stone Park that bark at the noise of the family'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 Stone Park door 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 shovel or wheelchairs. These are all things a canine can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Stone Park neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated inappropriate dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild shock collar so you can correct your canine 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 200x better than your hearing. He can hear his dog food being taken out of the car truck in the garage. 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 correct signal.
