Heredity gave dogs voices but there are ways to control most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Darien that bark at the noise of the house'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 Darien house but you should train them that an OK command from you means you have the situation under control and your dog guardian can stop barking.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as a broom or walkers. These are all items a pet can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Darien neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated inappropriate dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild zap collar so you can correct your canine 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 two hundred times 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 dog when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
If your dog's behavior problem 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 Darien home.
