barking is part of playing. i wouldn't stop mine from barking while playing.
i tried thinking of me or my kids playing and not talking or laughing while we have fun. it is a different situation than if they were at the window just doing nothing but barking. that play barking time was when i taught mine to "speak" or say "hi" on command. just a thought. I like to hear mine bark every now and again.
