Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to control most of the sounds that come from canine pets. Dogs in Union Grove that bark at the noise of the family's doorbell or a knock on the door need to be taught your preferred doggy behavior. It is their job to bark when a stranger comes to your Union Grove door but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means you have the situation under control and your protector can stop making noise.
Another complaint we hear from dog owners is the whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or rakes. These are all things a dog can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Union Grove 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 dog 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 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 pet when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
If your dog's behavior problem 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 Union Grove house.
