How do you train a dog not to bark when you are gone, if you are gone.
Oh wow dude, read the 16 previous pages. Besides, dogs can be trained to a lot of things if you work with them when they are young. For example, getting on the furniture. I have friends that say "oh heck, the dog will get on the furniture when were gone so we might as well let it on there all the time." But, I'm on my 3rd house dog in my adult life and have never ever had a problem with them getting on the furniture. Why? because where there puppies I teach them the word NO, and I never let them up on the furniture. As they grow into adulthood the thought of getting up there just never occurs to them. And, trust me I can tell by #1 Sneaking up and looking through the house windows. And #2 by just looking to see if there is any hair or dirt on the furniture. The same way with barking. If they are relaxed, know your going to come back, and have been trained not to bark then it's never a problem. Now, unlike some people here I have used a bark collar. But, once the dog is trained not to bark he no longer needs the collar. He just never thinks about barking.
