Does anyone have any advice on how to curb this annoying trait. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've heard that you need to teach "Speak" so that the behaviour has a name... then when you don't want her to do it.. it's NO SPEAK... otherwise you are just saying no and she has NO idea what it is you want her to stop doing. Using a clicker for this would be great. I'd take her outside and say "speak" when she actually does- click and treat. practice for a while JUST getting her to speak- both inside and outside and then start introducing- no speak. Good luck
