I must admit tho, that when there were burglaries around us we never got targeted. And our immediate neighbours either. So barking can have it's upside.

The howler house is the one that I caught burglers in the back yard just a couple of months ago...

Shall I put a piccy of a brown and white kelpie then? He only howls when there is a ute ful of dogs going past, or some dog howling a kilometre or 10 away. He does bark tho.
My dogs do bark but we live in the country - when we moved here I was paranoid about our little barking dog - came from animal welfare and had a shocking barking habit. Little B@stard used to sit on a hill in the paddock and bark nonstop for a while. The kids informed me that he was barking at the barking dog across the road - I couldn't hear it over the noise of ours. He did settle down after he got used to the roo's, the cows, the horses. He never got used to the wombat.
I used a collar on him when we lived in the city. It gave a noise that they can hear but we can't and it isn't nice to hear. No shocks or anything like that. But he learned to stop barking when he was wearing it. Got a bit expensive in the country tho as I had to buy a new one everytime he took it swimming in the dam.
I've found that puppies will whinge a fair bit when they are alone for a week or two, and then usually settle.
We have two dogs, so they are never alone. They do spend all day alone when I'm working (parttime), but they go for huge runs on the fire trail except in snakey summer when it's just chasing the ball in the house yard (which is not small - just try mowing it to see.)
I must admit tho, that when there were burglaries around us we never got targeted. And our immediate neighbours either. So barking can have it's upside.
I would def. recommend playing the barking back at volume to give them a taste of their own!
Have you ever lived near a teenager learning to play a musical instrument? Trumpet? Electric guitar? OMG drums! Give me a barking dog anyday! Ali

'course it could be a Basenji , they don't bark only howl and yodel .......
"The Basenji produces an unusual yodel-like sound commonly called a "barroo", due to its unusually shaped larynx.[1] This trait also gives the Basenji the nickname "Barkless Dog".[2]"

It's brown and white. Does that help?

Could be a Dalmatian! Come on you can give more detail than that. Big, medium, small? Long ears down the side of the head? Pricked ears on top? Long tail or short? Curled tail over back or straight? It's either that or the coffee machine goes on over there xxx

It howls alot.

We have one next door but one who screams all day .........and that's the mum at the kids

Seriously tho' it's no joke . Jake will bark but I usually only have to say be quiet or fetch him in. He does get left (in the house) but settles down in his bed and sleeps . Only once has our neighbour textd me to ask if he was ok cos he was whining and that's cos I went out the back door instead of the front .

I've found that when my neighbour's dog is in the garden and barking, I can shut it up by activating the sonic cat scarer I got to discourage cats. It's too high pitched for me to hear, but pressing the button a couple of times seems to stop the dog at once. Maybe one of those high pitched dog whistles would do the same thing.

Saw title thought it was about some people on the vine!

There was a house next to my lottie where big dogs were left to bark all day. Everyone was fed up with it, but nobody did anything. Me, I'm gobby I am ~ and interfering
I typed up an official looking letter & this leaflet and posted it to the house: the barking stopped shortly after that

I LIIIIIIIKE your style!
