Affordable Dog Bark Collar
#1
Here you go Jackie. This an affordable ($24)  bark collar,  Pecole on Chewy.com

https://www.chewy.com/dogcare-tc-system-...rZEALw_wcB 

this bark collar works well on our willful 2 year old Chesapeake bay retriever.

The  18th century writer Samuel Johnson  had a famous quote "Only fools venture where angels fear to tread".
But screw it I'll jump into the fray......
If 1 neighbor is complaining about your dog, gosh they are pain in the butt neighbor.
If 2 neighbors complain about your dog barking, I guess you have some particular neighbors & you should try to get your dog to bark a bit less.
If 3 neighbors are complaining about you dog, hmmmmm? Sounds like its time to take ownership, be a considerate neighbor, and buy a $24 dog collar.

I apologize for being mean to you Jackie, I'm just trying to give you a $24 solution. And make everybody happier. Including your dog, after it gets 3 or 4 moderate zaps from a bark collar.
And open the door to the big DOG barking topic raging on the JT BB.

The reason I am jumping into this  JT/Bar-K  dog barking issue is because the answer is  to me, obvious. In that the solution is balance. 
YING/YANG
Home owner's right to quiet VS. dog-owners rights to be a dog. Woof. Which ironically, is inherently not an obvious, clear-cut  solution.
If you are a neighbor complaining about your neighbor's occasionally barking a bit, you should chill out, you live in the mountains. Maybe there is a bear around. Dogs like to announce their presence.
If your neighbor's dog barks SOME, have a polite conversation with them in the hopes of tempering the issue. And then play your music a bit louder.
But gee golly, if when you are the dog guardian, that when you let your dog out in your yard, and it BARKS NON STOP, for 30 minutes to 2 hours, EVERY EVENING. You need to deal.
Find a better solution like:
•walk your dog & get it the exercise it is requesting from you
•keep it inside
•buy a dog collar.
Instead of being rude, ignoring your neighbors request, and being in denial.

So Hollis, my friend. You can be a bit grumpy. You complain about dogs  barking in JT. Respectfully, I think you should let a little bit of dog barking slide.
However, I live close to you. 100 yards west of you. so if your issue is about a particular dog barking south of you, all the time. 
Well I hear a dog, south east of me, that barks every evening. For a 1/2 hour or longer. 6 days a week. 
Whoever that neighbor is should own up that their dog has a barking problem, and be a gracious neighbor, and deal.

BOOM! 
Let the fireworks begin

Rich,
Thank you so much for your brave post on the most difficult  topic in the entire area, dogs barking.
My dog is particularly loud, although there are several of these type of dogs in my neighborhood, she might be the loudest.
The others have deeper sounding barks that are a little easier on the ears.
The animal control officer told me she gives the most summons to this type of dog, Great Pyrenees, although mine has a little Maremma and Anatolian in her, a new breed, Colorado Mountain Dog . I'm in a few Facebook groups online and they won't even allow posts about the collars because they disapprove of them for this extra sensitive breed. I tried posting to ask what kind of collar and they wouldn't allow the post .
I am going to order one, because I don't' want my neighbors hating me and its' cheaper that the fine. I appreciate you posting the link!
I have to meet up with the animal control officer in town, so I don't' actually have the summons yet with the identities of the neighbor who have logs on the barking and I slacked on my own log, but I keep them inside most of the time lately and I kept them in most nights in the summer. The neighbors were hearing them bark through the window in the middle of the night. Imagine what I was hearing since they were in my room. I have the sliding door all the way closed now, so they shouldn't be hearing them in the middle of the night, but the dogs definitely still bark in the middle of the night when there is something in the yard. I am on a mountain lion trail , and a pond, so all the wildlife comes here to get a drink . When there is snow, I see mountain lion tracks less than 10 ft away, around the house. They are not usually barking at nothing!
I hope the collar works !  I could use some sleep at night too! Its' so loud in my room, 5 ft from my ears.
Thank you ,
Kind regards ,
Jackie
