A swat on the behind for screwing up is quite a bit different that an electric shock around the throat for doing something that comes natural.

You can minimize the barking though. One of ours is bark crazy. Whenever I have the chance to catch her in the act I get in her face and sternly say NO BARKING. Just those two words. I don't vary it at all. After a while she now knows what no barking means. She may start barking as usual but after I say no barking she tapers off a lot faster now. Will also close the shades on the windows that face the street to sometimes.
