I've read some posts here that suggest taking a soda can and adding some coins. When the dog barks, shake the can. Someone else suggested a spray bottle.
A post by TotosMom said she got her pup to quit barking in one day by doing something that annoyed the dog as much as barking annoyed her: She "tapped on the wire part of her crate with a little metal curtain rod and she stopped! It only took maybe a half dozen times and she quit and didn't do it anymore! Now, if she barks when she shouldn't, we simply tell her "No bark". It can be done!"
The search menu on this web site is pretty cool. I typed in "bark" and was directed to threads with that information. You might cruise for other ideas.
Good luck.
