First you are drawing attention to the wrong thing and therefore reinforcing it.
You scolding her and noticing the bark not the non bark so she think man oh man I get attention if I bark a people. It does not matter it negative attention at all.

So what to do intead ingore tha barking for what it is attention seeking and try and catch the person outside the point she gets upet andd treat and reinforce the calm and quiet that which you feed by food or prasie or even negatie attention you get more of.

I take extra special going out for a walk looking for bate human treats and make it a party of good prebark fun.
