I've got a lab, and he does great in my condo. However, I DO have one that is very calm, which is unusual. Whichever kind you get, go to Walmart and get a Guardian bark collar. Very very very low voltage collar that only reacts to vibration from barking. Barely can feel it, and it emits an ultrasonic beep first. Put it on my dog when he first decided to start barking, and he immediately quit and hasn't barked since. He will still growl though when someone is coming to the door.
