Barking dogs are an annoyance to me. We have 2 indoor dogs and 3 outside dogs. They have been trained not to bark just for the sake of barking. If we hear our outside dogs barking it is usually due to strangers in the neighborhood or wildlife! Our indoor dogs don't really bark. Our rat terrier does from time to time but Raley (in my profile picture) RARELY barks. I think I'd hang myself if a dog was barking and woke me up early. Good luck to you....I hope you can resolve the problem easily!
