dog will not stop barking while we are out

Ok you might think I'm odd for asking this.. Have you tried putting music on when you leave your home? I've seen it work. The music can muffle any loud noise that the dogs may hear.

i have thought about it but the dogs seem to bark along with the music every time we play any for what ever reason. then if we left it on the neighbours would complain of the music as well as the barks.

I play soft music for my little guy whenever we're gone. I think he likes it?

A good bark collar works very well for many dogs. They are far from useless. If you're at the point where you're this frustrated with your dog, and you refuse to rehome her, then please just get a bark collar and be done with it. Seperate your dogs if you're afraid of them chewing off the collars.

It really can't be more simple that that. Buy collar, put collar on dog, that's it. Very simple.

I prefer the Tritronics bark collar. Spending a little more and getting a good one will make all the difference. Cheap ones often times are useless.
