Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to correct most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Whitewater that bark at the noise of the house'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 Whitewater door but you should train 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 whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or wheelchairs. These are all things a pet can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Whitewater 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 dog from inside the from a distance. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
It's important for you to remember that a dog's hearing is over 200 times better than your hearing. He can hear the sound of a child riding a tricycle several houses 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 proper command.
If your dog barks too much and this 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 Whitewater house.
