Heredity gave dogs voices but there are procedures to control most of the sounds that come from man's best friend. Dogs in Camp Whitcomb that bark at the noise 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 Camp Whitcomb house but you should train them that an "okay" from you means everything is fine and your protector can stop making noise.
Another complaint we hear from dog owners is the whining at objects such as vacuum cleaners or walkers. These are all things a pet can learn to live with quietly. Watching out the window and barking at your Camp Whitcomb neighbors and their dogs is not acceptable inappropriate 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 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 canine when it's time to be quiet when they hear the proper command.
If endless dog barking 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 Camp Whitcomb house.
