I have also used the pennies-in-aluminum can trick. It worked quite well for a while, but I tried it yesterday and Buster wanted to play with the can! It stops them from barking, but not always for very long since they have pretty short attention spans (I have 2 yorkies). Yesterday, Buster actually wanted to play with it instead of stopping or running away, so I take it that he's not too startled by it anymore. He did stop barking while he was checking out the noisy can he wanted to play with though!
