My girlfriend's dog will not stop barking at night. I have asked her to get rid of it or get a bark collar to try to stop it from barking all of the time when we are trying to sleep. What can I do to get it to shut up?

Have you talked to your girlfriend about strategies for stopping the barking? Maybe she doesn’t realize how frequently it’s happening or how loudly it is. Offering gentle reminders, rewards for quiet behavior, and other calming strategies might help to get the desired result without resorting to harsh measures like physical correction or an aggressive bark collar.
