I have two dogs but one is a Basset with a big mouth the neighbors love him. We leave them in at night and they will sleep all night, they wake me up around 6 every morning to let them out.

Sorry, I just lose it when I read about dogs suffering. We may share 98% of our genes with chimpanzees but it's dogs that are closest to us emotionally. They have evolved to fit into our lives as companions and friends, not as appliances.
I sincerely hope the OP will reevaluate keeping this puppy.

Have to try it. The only thing I'm worried about will it keep her from barking at something/someone we want her to bark at? We live in a safe area, but you never know.
You don't have the have the shock collar on her for the rest of her life. Just keep it on her until she gets the point. If she forgets, put it back on her. Something extreme will still get her to bark.

There's not an eye roll emoticon large enough for this post. To think that this dog is suffering in any way is ridiculous.

They've been breed. Some to be companions, some to be herd dogs, etc.
Maybe they should have evolved to live indoors.

Good luck man. My dogs will bark all night if I leave them out regardless of how much I ignore them (I am no dog whisperer but I think they are communicating with the other neighborhood dogs (mine of course are trolling the other neighborhood dogs)).

I was talking about her whining to come in the house not her barking at night. Guess I'm gonna have to get a shock collar, but I'm scared Kentucker doesn't approve.

They bark at night when they are insecure, those saying get a crate are right. Put it in the garage and bring your dog into it each night if you want a good solution to the problem.
This. Crate training is a must. Dogs are pack/social animals. They see you as part of their pack. Sounds like your dog has separation anxiety due to being stranded from the pack. Why are you so close-minded about bringing the dog inside anyway? It's a beagle, not a mastiff. Get a crate and train it to sleep at night in the crate. You'll thank us later.

I don't love shock collars (work well for some dogs, frick up others). But it's your dog and (although I love dogs) they are just dogs. As long as you are not being intentionally mean to them (and you aren't) I can't really fault what any owner chooses to do.
Hope the shock collar works.

It's a beagle/lab mix and it has the size of a lab.
What's so close-minded about it? I don't want an animal all over my house. That's it. It might be OK for some people, and that's more than fine, but it ain't for me.
Let me get this straight, y'all are advising me to lock up my dog in a small crate for up to 8 hours or more?

One bitch in the bed is enough.

You are a better man than me if you don't need something to blame your farts on.

I apologize. I have a bad case of knee jerkitis when it comes to dogs. I have a brother who feels the same way you do about animals in the house and I resent having to sleep in his garage with my dogs when I go to visit him in Oklahoma.
I hope you work out your situation with the pup.

Ha. Looks like I got the best of both worlds from the beagle / lab mixture.

You asked for advice and we're giving you what works. If you can't tolerate a genuine attempt to help, don't ask the question. YES I'm telling you to look at crate training. A large crate is the size of an overstuffed chair. Your dog can be trained to think of it as its safe zone. They will sleep all night in one. Many wild dogs live in dug out dens for safety. I have a 70lb bird dog myself and he does just fine in the crate. Before you crap on the idea, look it up yourself. You can find crate training vids on youtube.

These work, they are also good for role playing with the wifey.

I appreciate all the tips. My quip about the crates wasn't directed at you directly, but at those acting like I mistreat the animal. Sorry.
