That way you'll show her exactly what you mean when you compain about the dogs barking too much. I also agree about trying ear plugs. They could be quite useful. I think a dog whistle is a great idea! I'd suggest to buy one if you can. I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this. It must be really painful for you. Please don't give up.
