we had a neighbour leave a us a kind note saying our dog barked when we weren't home during the day -- she's a nurse and works nights. I immediately told her we were sorry and we'd do whatever we had to do. We tried a citronella collar (about $100) and it worked like a freakin charm. Put it on him once, and about 30 mins later he came running through the dog door smelling like lemons. it had an immediate effect and id say he figured it out within 3 days that if he barked he got a little shot of spray -- she says he hasn't bugged her since.
