Just throwing this out there, hoping someone has a suggestion. One of my dogs is a barker...and I mean for EVERYTHING! If a leaf blows by, he is barking! The other dogs are not generally barkers, but when he starts them off, they ALL join in. We have 5 dogs of varying sizes and the noise can be really nerve rattling after a while. He is not bored or neglected...he gets regular exercise and play-time daily. I am at a loss here....so...does anyone have any ideas about how to curb this? (except a shock collar...I will never use one on my dogs) Any other sanity-saving advice would be welcome and greatly appreciated!
