Small lots mean fence-line encounters. Teach your dog to come away from the fence for a treat, and avoid leaving them alone in the yard for long stretches. A recall game turns a barking trigger into a fun cue.

Driveways are your practice room. Mark a spot with a mat and reward sits and downs there. Add a few distractions like a friend walking by, then increase distance slowly. Ten calm minutes after dinner, when the street is quiet, is often all it takes to build the habit, and a laminated card on the fridge listing the cue words keeps every family member on the same page.

Because homes are close, a plan to reduce barking is valuable. In-home visits are commonly estimated at $100 to $200, and a behavior program at $600 to $1,800 if barking is intense.
