Heredity gave dogs voices but there are ways to control most of the sounds that come from man's best friend. Dogs in Harbor Heights that bark at the noise of the house's doorbell or a knock on the door need to be taught a greeting ritual. It is their job to bark when an unknown person comes to your Harbor Heights house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means you have the situation under control and your protector can stop making noise.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or wheelchairs. These are all things a canine can learn to live with quietly. Running fence lines and barking at your Harbor Heights neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable bad 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 house. 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 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 pet 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 obedience trainer a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Harbor Heights home.
