It ain't easy with these vocal little guys but it can be done

.. and the way is a combination of good cop bad cop

bring your pup around a situation where she is likely to bark
right before she gets into position ... and you can tell
They will stare and stiffen up
break her gaze ... call her - give her a toy anything that will stop her from seeing what upsets her
best to have her on a leash when you do this
it's easier to get her attention
if she barks ... do the samething and say ... No bark!
if she stops .. give her a treat and a Good Girl!
if she doesn't pull her away from the area until she stops
No talking to her
this will only serve to reinforce her being vocal
