Hi Gwen
Like all collies they have rally good hearing, I will be poo’ed on by the so called trainers, but I recommend a few pebbles in a drinks can  ;D you must not speak they must not see it but if they bark give the can a quick shake.
I have found they stop barking to listen to where the noise came from which they do not like LOL then if they start again give it another shake don’t you go looking at them just act like nothing has happened.

My daughter has MS they can be barky little dogs she has a path running at the back of her house and they used to bark at everything and anything that passed told her to try the can silly lass had it on the window ledge and hubby had a tin bin out in the garden under this ledge dogs barks she shook the can and dropped it straight into the bin LOL that sure stopped them.
