Indeed. Especially since it isnt that the owner or the op doesnt WANT the dog to bark. Obviously, its someone else that has the problem with the dog barking.
Again, I say that I would not have my son neutered like people do dogs, but people do that for "ethical reasons". I think this particular case bares some ethical ground. My grandma loves her dog to pieces, it might just kill her to take him away.
Only my Cleo barks a lot, and thats only when someone is walking their dog by my house, or if someone pulls in the driveway. If she is getting out of hand, I say "Hey!" loudly at her, and she puts her ears down because she knows she is being disobediant. Sometimes she will keep her ears down and run away, and softly bark still, like she just cant help it. It makes me chuckle.
