    Or water pistols.... have them around and when she barks give her a squirt. When she gets quiet give her a treat and praise. Occupy her, maybe its an attention seeking thing. Get a kong and fill it with food so she has to work at getting it out... or a treat ball or something like that. Don't feed her out of a bowl, but instead give her 3 kongs a day.... something like that?

    We have same issue with 1 of ours driving us MENTAL!!

    Have tryed water, chcuking a ball at it, hard thing is that to open door and get to it takes a bit off effort so by time done that he has forgotten why we are chcuking water at him!!

    I am thinking of biting bullet and getting a coller (please dont shoot me down)

    Tinks we had the same problem hun, day and all night. We bought something called a gentle leader because a friend used it on their dog and it worked. It is about $20 and is like a head collar. Comfortable to wear but somehow does the trick. They can eat and frink with it on. Our dog wears hers every night now and no more barking. Goodluck
