My neighbors have a 6-year old St. Bernard. I've recently asked them
if they can keep the dog inside at night, since the weather is warm
and I don't have AC, the barking at night is a problem. My neighbors
are deaf, and did ask me when I moved in to let them know if the dog
is barking.

My neighbor said she's going to bring the dog inside for now, but will
investigate other ways to keep the dog quiet at night, since the dog
doesn't like to sleep inside when it's hot. She mentioned some kind
of a muzzle. Now, I know that won't work, since the dog will need to
drink, right? You can't muzzle a dog without supervision, can you?

I think the dog is barking in response to movement. Trouble is,
she'll keep it up for a long time once she's roused, which wakes me
up, then keeps me up. And my roomate.

I suggested to my neighbor I'd split the cost of a "Bark Free" device,
even though I'd read mixed reviews of it.

Is there anything else to be done that I haven't thought of?

thanks,
Ann
