Before putting on a collar and all this other stuff, have you tried (and you may have) simply rewarding her for being quiet and reinforcing by saying the word "quiet" in a pleasant tone and giving a mini-treat? Do this inside and outside all around the yard, NOT YET in the spot she typically barks in. When she has "quiet" mastered nicely in other areas, you can then bring her to her other spot and give her the newly learned direction "quiet." A lot of "barking collars" are actually shock collars, which are basically an effective...but ideally LAST resort option and not a first resort. Real training is the first choice, as punitive, negative consequences are typically a last choice in behavior modification for anyone...canine or human. Consider first and foremost that your dog may not have any clue or idea what she should be doing instead of barking because all she knows is what "NOT" to do. Teaching her a new skill that she gets praised for like "sit" and "quiet" is often very beneficial. Keep in mind she is going to a spot and barking at the neighbor's house, so there is probably something there she is barking AT that is of interest to her. Is there a dog, cat, or other animal she senses over there? I have a dog who barks a lot, but the truth is, he's not barking arbitrarily...he's barking when something catches his attention...which happens to be often, LOL! :) I hope this helps. This is certainly not a blanket solution but maybe it can help lead to a good solution overall! :) Personalized Dog Collars

Give him large bone from market to chew on Walk with him around and when he barks immediastly scold him and make him sit. And place hand over muzzel if he barks again. He has to relate the bark is wrong. If barking is not evening and night hours most code wont ticket. You may have to kennel at night or bring inside. dog+collars
