I'm the same way. I can't look at the RIP forum either for the same reason. I would never get any sleep.
I have an 11 year old Sheltie that we have dubbed "The Barking Head" because of his barking. We have tried all the recommended methods to break him, to no avail. Just yesterday I bought a citronella collar (not cheap, I might add!!)
If it doesn't work, I'm going to start attaching a leash to my hip and keeping him at my side so I can limit his freedom and correct him quickly with a jerk on the leash. No more outside or free-run for him!!
Neither of us will like it, but THAT is my last resort. No way in the world would I consider debarking no matter what method used.
