I have been following this thread just watching how it's been going, and RedyreRotties, I did have some respect for your opinion and input on de-barking, even though I don't agree with it myself. However, that last statement, as was the smiley, was very unnecessary and does nothing for your credibility. Whether you show dogs or not does not make you superknowledgable or right in every case.

Just my input, I had a neighbour with a barking dog. She used the ignoration/spraying water technique and within a fortnight things were much better.
