I was hoping someone on the forum might have tried one?
After reading all the posts here perhaps I will try the water bottle first and see if that helps. I am just a little concerned about the use of white vinegar, is it absolutely safe to spray at your dog and what mixture of vinegar and water do I use? Would it hurt if it got in her eyes?

I have been using the water bottle like "sheshark" said for my dog's barking for the last week and rewarding him when he settles down. There's actually been significant improvement! Not so much when we're outside and he's around other animals, but definitely at home.
I just bought a bunch of squirt guns today so I can take them with me when we go out as well, since the bottle is big and awkward to carry. I do worry about the stream from the toy squirt gun being a little too strong though, in case it gets him in the eyes or something. Does anyone have any experience with squirt guns?
I think the vinegar solution is suggested only for for spraying on things that you don't want them to chew. But not actually squirting on the dog. It could definitely get in their eyes and hurt them or cause harm.
