Help me! My 11-month old Kelpie, Jessie, is normally a lovely dog, but she has a frustrating tendancy to bark at anything and everything, from bees to birds, apples to airplanes. Me and my family are at wits end trying to do something. We've tried discouraging her briefly (Until we found that to be a bad idea), ignoring her, praising her not barking, muzzling her, and nothing works. We're about to spend $100 on a citronella collar, which even then, has no guarantee. We're out of ideas, so I thought i'd send out a plea for anyone out here who has any.

Has anyone had the same problem? If so, How is it prevented?

Thanks in advance,

Sharn.
