I think you just have to try different things because different dogs will react differently. for mine, the spray bottle works because he hates it so much. but for others, they may hate the loud noise of a can of pennies.... but no matter what be VERY consistent and act like the barking is completely unacceptable!!! then if he gets quiet, praise him, Good Quiet!!! and give a treat. try not to give him too much attention when he barks except for your reprimand. good luck.
