<p class=MsoNormal>I once heard of someone who couldn’t get their dog to
shut up, they tried collars, sprays, training, and pretty much everything else
they could think of. The problem occurring when one is not home becomes
especially difficult. What they ended up doing was TAPE RECORDING the dogs
barking, and then when the dogs started up for no reason, they would then play
the tape back to the dog, with high volume, where he couldn’t escape it.
This is not a short tape, or a few seconds of playing the tape, I think it went
on for a while. The dog in the story then thought twice about barking for
no apparent reason, and the behavior stopped. I don’t know how long
one would have to play the tape, or how effective it would be for an individual
dog, but hey, it is worth a try, and might be better than some of the
alternatives.<o:p></o:p></p>
