Barking---ALL NIGHT!
So Juneaux typically IS a barker. Considering that she's pretty social with our extended family and their pets, she's always on the offensive whenever we take her to Petsmart. She barks at dogs and people when we go:( We'd never had a problem with her barking out back, just a random bark here and there, until recently...
With the exception of last night, the last few nights have been awful! Poor neighbors! She will start barking at about 2 am, and for about 30 min!! Plus she's pretty much barking right outside our bedroom window:( Then she calms down. 5 am she's at it again, and again for another half hour! Ughhh!! 8 am--you guessed it.
So 2 nights ago, I told my husband to PLEASE bring her in, so I could get some sleep (I'm 7 mo. pregnant, and share a bed with my husband AND 2 yr old--I never get good sleep!). Last night, she didn't make a peep (at least not in the mid AM hours). I think we've come to the conclusion that theres a new dog somewhere in the neighborhood, so whenever he starts to bark, she starts. Don't know about last night though--maybe he was put inside this time.
I beginning to think we should get one of those bark collars, but I don't want her to stop entirely. Anyone else with a barking problem?? Suggestions would be great:)

Great idea, and best of luck. It's no fun when you can't sleep!

She used to sleep inside in her crate, but then she started refusing to go out--resulting in her peeing in the house:( At first it was no biggie, I mean, clean it up and take her out on time next time, but as I got bigger it was just a hassle for me to keep cleaning up after her, and trying to keep my son from finding her accidents before me. What we should do is just bring her in at night, and put a leash on her to go out...the barking just wasnt a problem until a few days ago.
When we brought her home, the original plan was to keep her indoors, but that week I found out we were expecting. So with morning sickness, and a toddler running around, I just wasnt able to consistently take her out. So one day, she just stayed outside. My husband "tried" to house train her, but with his work schedule, it just didn't happen. We've had other dogs before and never had a problem house training them, but it was also just us 2 at the time. Think I will just bring her in at night...Thanks

Bring her in at night and crate her. First you will need to get her used to the crate, but Corgis typically do not like to be away from their "pack". Why does she sleep outside?
Bark collars are horrendous, and you should first consider bringing her inside to sleep at night.
