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?

There are many things you can try to get your girlfriend's dog to stop barking. Firstly, speaking to your girlfriend nicely and asking her to take the necessary measures to prevent the barking could be helpful. You could also try using a white noise machine or providing a favorite toy or treats as a distraction, both of which can reduce barking. Additionally, try and establish a nighttime routine that allows the dog to relax, such as having your girlfriend's dog go for a walk or play a training game in the evening. If all of this fails, a bark collar could be the final measure.
