Welcome to JustAnswer! For situations such as this, what is effective is a Citronella Dog collar - that sprays a non-toxic substance, citronella every time they bark to discourage them from doing this.This is an example of what I am referring to:LINKYou can purchase this at any pet store or online.This is meant to be a running dialogue, and for this reason it is very IMPORTANT that you reply using the REPLY TO EXPERT button if more information is needed at any time BEFORE rating.Positive RATING (EXCITED FACE or 5 STARS) is appreciated as this is the only way I know you have received the information and I receive credit for my time.Please remember to ONLY rate my answer when you are 100% satisfied.

If this does not work would you recommend an electric dog collar?
