Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Skyview Terrace that bark at the noise 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 a stranger comes to your Skyview Terrace door but you should teach them that an "okay" 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 barking at objects such as vacuum cleaners or tractors. These are all items a canine can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Skyview Terrace neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated bad 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 house. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
Most importantly, you must 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 canine when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
If your dog's relentless barking is an issue you would like to correct, please give Frank Allison, dog behaviorist a call or click to set up an appointment. Frank would be happy to schedule a private session in your Skyview Terrace house.
