The first step in resolving barking issues is to identify why the dog is barking. For instance, is the dog bored, frustrated, expressing displeasure, etc.?
A bored dog may need more exercise and perhaps mental stimulation, such as social interaction with people or other dogs. A dog expressing displeasure for being left inside while you are outside may need something like an e-collar to correct the behavior.
The important thing is to discover the CAUSE of the barking so you are not attempting to correct a symptom.
