You are so right. Spot on. It will ruin the dog and the neighbors will want to egg your house! I lived next to two awful, awful barkers for 5 years and nearly drove me crazy. I really mean that. It was harrassing. I even slept on the couch in the den for a long time to get to sleep in in the mornings since the dog was out barking early. But, they finally trained those two dogs not to bark. Changed them entirely. Sweet dogs now.
