Typo correction in my message above "I sit on the end of the lead so that he is some freedom, but can not get off of the desk"

Essentially this allows me to conduct my call, my hands are free, and I have the piece of mind that he can't misbehave. I also couple this with repeating "important call" Works like a charm. I am hoping that with continued repetition we may at some point be able to just use "important call" as a command and he will stay silent on the desk by himself without the aid of the harness and lead...

IMO a bark collar is just a way of abdicating training...fundamentally you need to get the pup to understand 1) you are in control and 2) what is and is not acceptable behavior. Not just stick a device on them...
