Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to correct most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Pell Lake 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 Pell Lake 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 growling.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the barking at objects such as vacuum cleaners or walkers. These are all things a canine can learn to live with quietly. Running fence lines and barking at your Pell Lake 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 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 200x 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 canine when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
