I understand that you have tried many things, but when training, consistency is such an important part of the process. For example, why did stop using the citronella collar, did it not work at all? You are going for a reduction in barking not a complete elimination in barking. Since your dog stops barking when you're home, and the problem is when you aren't at home, I would think anxiety might be the issue, and you really need to address this because barking is just a symptom. I agree with the suggestions Wylie's Mom gives in post 156, and I think a trainer with experience in this area is an absolute must before considering such a permanent procedure. |
