user
It would usually be inappropriate to use force to stop a dog from barking, as excessive force could result in serious injuries to the animal. In some rare cases, such as when a dog is barking non-stop with no interruption and continuously creating a nuisance for neighbor, some form of appropriate corrective action may need to be taken, at which point moderate physical discipline could potentially be used by professionals trained in these techniques. However, owners should also try other methods such as sound and noise distraction before resorting to any physical measures.
