Not sure if this will work, but I learned this method from "Its me or the dog" (I forgot that trainers name..anyone?). But anyway, I actually used this on one of my dogs for when he would go and bark at the fence at the neighbor's dogs. Everytime he barked, I put him in our bathroom (which there is a door that connect to the outside from it, so it made it pretty easy). I waited for a few seconds of silence from him in there, and then let him out. When he did it again...he went back to the bathroom. It took a little while, but he DID learn not to bark or else he would go in the bathroom..and he didn't like that.
