I've know trainers whose methods make my skin crawl. both dog and horse
trainers. The "no bark" collar was the last resort for a dog that simply
would not "shut up". The only step beyond that is surgery. 
It may sound inhuman....(both the surgery and the "no bark") but it's 
better than the only other alternative is putting the animal to sleep. 
A dog that will not stop barking is usually a very nervous and hyper 
animal anyway.
