Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest door but you should teach them that an OK command 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 tractors. These are all things a dog can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your Lake Forest neighbors and their dogs should not be tolerated inappropriate dog behavior either. This "distance" barking can be corrected through training sometimes needing a mild shock collar so you can correct your canine from inside the from a distance. 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 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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
