Hi Adrienne 
    Welcome to the list. I have an almost 2 year old male and he is pretty 
good about not barking at night. He is a house dog, so spends his night 
inside. When he barks at something, I just listen to what he is barking at 
and tell him if it is OK. If he continues, I tell him no and if he is 
insistent, he is sent to the floor and told to stay. He just hates that. It 
seems to do the trick. 
    As for the citronella collar, I have not heard much good about them. 
Someone told me to try a squirt gun, but I seemed to hit everything but Pico.
