Teddie had a few episodes like that. When he got to be too rambunctious and flying around the house and not listening, I would put him in his kennel for a minute. When I took him out I would calmly talk to him and take him outside and we would play tug-o-war with his toys, throw a ball (which he is learning to retrieve). I did the coin thing a few times, that seemed to work okay. I sprayed him with a water bottle a few times recently because one was in hand, but I am working on training him to not bark by saying, "thank you--I hear it--no more bark!" He gets it sometimes, other times he is more adamant. He only tends to bark though when he hears something...especially outside. I wish you luck!!
