Hmm...I see, I read about her barking at the vacuum and window and took it differently. But reading this "things that I know she really isn't afraid of", it does make more sense. Not more sense as in I know what to do but more sense in I understand your problem better. Reagan would bark at everything early on, but it was more so things that were new and she was usure of, I think we gave her more confidence and she doesn't bark as much anymore.
Honestly though if you are sure that she isn't barking to get your attention I think some form of training is going to be needed, whether it be a collar or something else. I can say on my big dog the collar has worked great. We were turned in at my old house so we had to do something about it and it worked. I have never used it on a small dog though so just be sure to do your research(as you are now doing).
