Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Rock County 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 Rock County door but you should teach them that an OK command from you means everything is fine 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 walkers. These are all things a dog can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Rock County neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated 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. 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 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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
