Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from dogs. Dogs in Chenequa 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 a stranger comes to your Chenequa house but you should teach them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your dog guardian can stop barking.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or wheelchairs. These are all things a dog can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Chenequa 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 home. This unacceptable dog behavior can be corrected in a short period of time.
It's important for you to 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 dog when it's time to be quiet when they hear the correct signal.
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 Chenequa house.
