It angered me in the beginning but I have tried to keep the barking to an absolute minimum by using a water pistol
It gets them out of the barking jag immediately by startling them just a bit
And for me has worked like a charm
We live in a condo. I keep mine quiet by walking up to them and touching their side. It has always worked well for me. Except with my Westie, she's having none of that.

*I literally mean touch their side. Not poke, slap, pinch or anything. JUST touch.*
