Noisy Dogs :
It is important to teach your dogs to be quiet, especially if you have neighbours close by.

Over zealous howlers need to be trained to be a little quieter. One method, though time consuming is to give a reward when the dog is quiet or alternatively, to discipline when they are noisy. The discipline can come in the form of a voice command or a simple tap on the top of their kennel. Sometimes though, more extreme measures are called for. Read More.. Safety Tips :
