In fact, I disconnect mine, because it's loud and then my dog barks loudly resulting in an instant adrenaline headache. 

I once stayed in a beautiful cabin with an amazing hand made log king size bed, the mattress height side rails were logs with the bark still attached.

She is just so adorable that we let her get away with many behaviors like barking at us and lately even growling.

Funny thing is, they are afraid of my black lab who never barks and greets everyone at the door with a wagging tail and a stuffed animal in her mouth.  

And bark a lot.

Does the dog pull, does the dog lunge, does the dog bark at strangers walking by?

Does the next door tenant have a barking dog?

It isn't allowed to bark,  the dog is highly trained to listen to every single command the first time watch the dog if you can it should be completely confident, focused on the handler and only the handler at all times etc.

I used to have VA issues with the Indian companies but the VAs in the Phillipines I have used don't even have an accent and because they work different hours because of time zones when it's really quiet they rarely get interrupted like "dog barking, kids sick or need to be dropped off in AM and in afternoon."

In fear and anxiety, you quickly lash out, with personal attacks, say there Mom is fat, there butt is hairy, whatever, because God-forbid anyone find out your just a wind-bag who randomly barks BS plucked from thin air for attention. yeah, I get it, I got exactly who you are and your point, I just don't give a sh#t.
