Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in Lakemoor that bark at the noise 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 Lakemoor door but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means you have the situation under control and your dog guardian can stop growling.
Another concern we hear from pet owners is the barking 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 Lakemoor neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated bad 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 from a distance. This unacceptable dog behavior can be corrected in a short period of time.
Most importantly, you must remember that a dog's hearing is over 200x 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 correct signal.
If non-stop dog barking is an issue you would like to correct, please give Frank Allison, dog obedience trainer a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Lakemoor home.
