Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to control most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in Lyons that bark at the sound of the family's doorbell or a knock on the door need to be taught a greeting ritual. It is their job to bark when an unknown person comes to your Lyons house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop growling.
Another complaint we hear from dog owners is the barking at objects such as vacuum cleaners or wheelchairs. These are all things a canine can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Lyons 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 dog from inside the from a distance. This unacceptable dog behavior can be corrected in a short period of time.
Most importantly, you must remember that a dog's hearing is over 200x better than your hearing. He can hear your car coming from over a block 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 Lyons house.
