This will all depend on what is causing the barking. If you feel like there is noise outside or something scaring Eli the most important part is to help her feel calm and relaxed. however if she is barking to inform you she has to go outside and us the restroom that does not want to be changed. I would recommend trying to exercise her before bedtime. This could include a walk or playing with her favorite toy. You can try some over the counter supplements that help with anxiety like composure too. If this does not help than I recommend trying to work with a trainer to decrease anxiety and stress. Hope that helps
