Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to control most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Union Grove 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 a stranger comes to your Union Grove house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop making noise.
Another complaint we hear from dog owners is the barking at objects such as a broom or wheelchairs. These are all items a dog can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Union Grove neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated bad dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild zap collar so you can correct your pet from inside the house. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
It's important for you to remember that a dog's hearing is over 200 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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
If endless 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 Union Grove house.
