I use a bark collar as well to break a dog from barking...also use a red ryder on the rump and 3 bangs back to back makes it more effective...
something else I have learned...when the pup or dog is barking and you do not have access to reaching out and correcting then it is better to just ignore the pup...if the pup barks and you tell it to shut it and there is no follow thru to make it happen just ignore and walk causally to your red ryder and when he barks tell him to be quiet and correct the pup...
when the pup barks and we walk up to quiet the pup he has gotten your attention and that is what he wants...so the barking continues...
only walk up and pet the pup when he is quiet and he will start associating quiet with pleasant attention...
