Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to correct most of the sounds that come from man's best friend. Dogs in Sharon 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 Sharon door but you should teach them that an OK command from you means you have the situation under control and your protector can stop barking.
Another concern we hear from dog owners is the whining at objects such as a broom or walkers. These are all items a dog can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Sharon neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable bad 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 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 200 times 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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
