Heredity gave dogs voices but there are ways to correct most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Wind Point 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 a stranger comes to your Wind Point door but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means you have the situation under control and your protector can stop barking.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as a shovel or wheelchairs. These are all items a canine can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Wind Point neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable inappropriate 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. 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 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 dog 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 trainer a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Wind Point house.
