I recently wrote about what's wrong with ultrasonic bark deterrents, particularly when a neighbor aims one at someone else's dog. That piece raised a harder question: if we shouldn't punish a dog for barking, what should we do instead? The practical answer begins with figuring out why the dog is barking. But underneath that practical question is an ethical one, and I think it deserves more attention than it usually gets.
