Partly fits

Barksypartial · 65

Barksy focuses on puppy owners with lessons that include separation anxiety and barking, so its primary purpose maps to your problem but it is pitched more narrowly at new puppy parents.

Won’t cover: The guidance is aimed mainly at new puppy owners rather than owners of older dogs with established barking habits.

BorrowMyDoggypartial · 50

BorrowMyDoggy connects owners with trusted borrowers who can look after dogs, which can temporarily solve barking by avoiding long absences but it doesn't address long-term behaviour change.

Won’t cover: A peer-to-peer caregiving platform rather than a behaviour-modification tool that reduces barking long-term.
