How do you stop your dog from barking?

I yell out to stop of course. Go out the back and admonish him (Bad Dog stop barking etc). Lock him in the shed for short periods of time. He has a Bark Collar on. The one that emits sound didn't stop him and his costing me a small fortune in citronella cartridges. It doesn't help that people bang on the fence to set him off...

What does isolating him do???

You're taking a pack animal and confining it away from his pack (you and the wider) family. The only difference is that you understood time out - your dog doesn't know that you want him to stop barking and that you will come back and let him out in time.

@HootyTheNightOwl I read somewhere that that was supposed to work.
