Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to correct most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in Rochester that bark at the noise 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 an unknown person comes to your Rochester house but you should train 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 barking at objects such as a shovel or tractors. These are all things a dog can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Rochester neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable inappropriate 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 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 200 times 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 dog 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 trainer a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Rochester house.
