I’m a teenager, and all my life I have lived with animals. I have always had my dogs, my cat and a few others. I have a terrible social anxiety and am constantly worrying and stressing, and these animals have been my sanctuary and always kept me from crying. Recently we moved to a new house, to run a business. Now all we do is work, and it’s okay to me, because of my animals. Today started my towns 3 day festival, we run a booth for people to buy my art and nicknacks, it’s always extremely loud, stressful and filled with people. But it was okay. During the end of today, my mother comes up to me at the booth, and tells me how the owners of the business are complaining, and how a few of our friends left the place and won’t come back because of the dogs barking. And my dad says I guess we have to get rid of the dogs. This hit me so hard right then I had to bury my head, because I couldn’t keep myself from crying, that scared me so much more because I was surrounded by eyes. I don’t want to cry in front of my parents, because it is not their fault and I don’t want them to feel bad. I’m home now, I will try everything I can to stop them from barking, but I don’t know if the owners have enough patience. And it’s not like I don’t understand why we can’t have them barking, but I don’t want to lose them. If I do I don’t know how I will manage being around people on a daily basis.

This may sound cruel to dogs, and you may not like this idea. But you could buy a shock collar for them and once they know that they can't bark due to the shock and they learn not to be barking, then it won't even have to be turned on. It's just a suggestion. I have two dogs that I love and couldn't live without so I understand where you're coming from. Hopefully you don't take this idea the wrong way. I know how people feel about shock collars. I've never tried it on my dogs, but I've heard it's a way to stop their barking.
