Hi Cheryl, I usually lurk, but may be of some help. Our trainer, at obedience class, solved this problem for us by spraying Poppie in the face with a very fine mist of water from a spray bottle when she decided that she needed to bark like crazy at every dog coming into the training ring. We continued this at home, and in no time, Poppie got the message. She did not bark at "school" after two squirts. Make sure the spray from the bottle is fine mist - don't want to squirt a strong stream that might hit the eyes. You can find such a bottle in the health & beauty section at Wal Mart. HTH
