Heredity gave dogs voices but there are steps to correct most of the sounds that come from your pet. Dogs in South Deering that bark at the sound 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 South Deering door but you should teach them that an OK command from you means you have the situation under control and your protector can stop making noise.
Another complaint we hear from pet owners is the whining at objects such as a shovel or walkers. These are all items a canine can learn to live with quietly. Running the property lines and barking at your South Deering 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 home. It really doesn't take long for them to learn.
It's important for you to remember that a dog's hearing is over 200x 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 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 South Deering home.
