When your dog won’t stop barking, don’t get angry at it – get a dog bark collar. Dogs express themselves through barking – they lay claim to territory, try to scare other pets away, alarm you to the presence of something in the environment. But this expressiveness can get on your nerves. It’s possible you could come back from work very tired, and be greeted by an angry neighbor complaining – your dog, it seems has been barking for a long time, while you were at work.
When you routinely get roused from bed by all that barking, you could be losing that much needed rest you need for the office the next day (or in a few hours, if you were forced to get up at 3 am).

The immediately open course of action is to investigate the cause(s) of the unwanted behavior. Many dogs who bark repeatedly and almost non-stop when their owners are away are either seeking attention or reacting to something in the environment – something for you to look into.
Perhaps there’s the sound of the engine of a large truck or vehicle that pulls close to your home while you’re in the office.
(You can ask your neighbors. Are there animals outside your home (but which your dog can sense) while you’re away? These may be anything from birds on the trees near your house, cats who sneak into your yard, or racoons that force their way in.
You may need to take a day off or stay home during weekends to observe for these.

Understand that your dog may want some attention, and that barking is one way of trying to get what it needs. Some dog owners do not notice the plunge in the quantity of time they spend with their dogs. So it’s natural for your dog to miss you. The problem is that by giving it attention only after it starts a barking ruckus, you help in cementing into the dog’s head that barking is okay.
You just reinforced a habit – that the dog will bark at anything and you’ll come out to shout at it, give it attention.
Suppose you don’t get mad, that you instead shower it with hugs and treats?
You could make the barking stop that way, but only temporarily.
Since you have work, you won’t always be there for your dog. But there’s still all that barking fest that erupts now and again; the logical next step is to look into buying a good dog bark collar.
The type you can purchase online, without taking leave from work, or rewiring your schedule.

A barking collar is just a device that waits for your dog to bark and sends out a really memorable annoyance each time.
When your dog barks, it interrupts that otherwise unstopped loud session with a low volt shock, an overwhelming scent, or a high pitched sound (your choice of interruption). As the dog’s gets more exposed to the bark collar, it will soon want to avoid barking altogether.
With such a training mechanism and regimen in place, you can safely resume your normal days, relaxed at the thought that the bark-fest has finally been contained.
