I use a pretty heavy tin, one of those christmas tins, filled half way up with pennies, it does make a loud noise. You are trying to associate the word No with something bad. Later the word No works all by itself. The finger to the lips has no meaning unless you put meaning to it. She will learn that she can stop the can from shaking if she stops barking when you say No. Try not to smile or laugh, when you are doing this, look her straight in the eyes, say a stern "no, and shake a loud can. Repeat as needed.

I will try a different can maybe that will help.
