Sophie was never an incessant barker but does like to bark at deer or other dogs being walked in front of "her' house. I tried all the remedies mentioned. She would bark even louder at the coins in a can. A five minute time out in her doggie den helped the most, accompanied by a strong NO BARK command. At first I was afraid it might spoil her liking her doggie den but that didn't happen. I think the thing that worked the best for Sophie was time. Since she turned two her barking is minimal and manageable with a NO BARK command. She turns her bark into a small whine and then stops. When she's quieted she gets a treat.
