I have a boxer and a silky terrier. The silky barks at all noises. UPS truck driving by, doorbells on tv, if I bump the wall and make a thud sound etc.
I work from home so its an issue for work, but its very excessive anyway. I was thinking of putting a cd together of noises. I would think if the dog gets conditioned to the noises he would bark less.
Does this make sense to you folks and if yes, have you ever heard of a cd for this purpose?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, there is a cd of "scary sounds" used for getting dogs to accept noise. www.thevetshed.com.au/product_info.php/products_id/886I have used it successfullly with one dog who tended to be an alarm barker, and most everything alarmed her. Start the cd off a low volume, and give the dog treats. Gradually increase the volume, and continue treating for calm behavior. What you want to see if the dog coming to you rather than barking when he hears a sound. At that point, take the dog out and about to hear real world noises. Treat for good behavior, increase the distance if he starts barking.

Many people would prefer E-collar to solve that problem. I'm not into this not because my dog doesn't have barking problems but because I think it's cruel to dogs.

I think you need a well profession dog trainer for solve your barking problem. A well professional dog trainer can easily handle a dog and gives a good training to your dog.
