rejected.content: You could try using a noise machine or white noise app to mask the barking, though this might not be enough. You could also try a temporary solution like temporarily moving the dog outside of the bedroom until the barking stops. Additionally, you could try using training methods like rewarding good behavior and trying a muzzle if the barking does not subside.
