There are several ways to tame even the most un-trainable dog's barking before your neighbors save enough money to move you out to the country.

You have tried everything to modify your precious pooch's behavior and nothing works. You're not sleeping, and your neighbors hate you because your dog is barking all the time. You don't know what to do, you have read every dog-training book, and none of the hands-off methods is working. It may be time to get hands-on. After all, Rover likes to express himself, but the constant barking has to stop at some point. The following methods should help curb the desire to bark in even the most spirited dog.

1. There are 2 types of anti-bark collars to help Rover forget the need to serenade the neighbors all night. The radio variety gives off a mild shock when the pooch starts to bark. There is also an herbal spray version that emits a strong citrus odor when triggered by barking.
2. There is an ultrasonic sound device triggered by barking that should deter the barking. This sound is not unpleasant to the human ear but is not something your canine wants to hear.
3. Lastly, there is a medical procedure that can mute the sound of your dogs bark. This procedure is called de-barking and is generally thought of as humane. While a medical procedure should be your last resort, it may be a means to an otherwise unforeseeable end.

You've done your best to correct Rover's behavior gently. However, you and your neighbors deserve a good night's sleep and you may need to try other methods. One of the products listed above may be your ticket to silence.
