One of my dogs barked alot at night - as she slept outside, i would have to go sit with her at 1 am, 2 am, 3am,...you get the picture! Seemed to me that she was just socializing with a whole lot of other dogs that were barking at night, too. During a really bad bout (my husband was threatening to get rid of her over this) we tried an anti-bark collar - I have to admit it worked well. But we only used it when all else failed. So I kept working with her and would gently hold her muzzel and tell her "no bark", and reward her when she was being quiet. Eventually all it took was saying - shhh, no bark.
