I know about the barking!!! My Lexie used to bark at my rabbit ALL the time! The key is to interrupt them when they are barking. I use my "dog master" instruments, but you could always try the can with pennies in it as well. When she starts barking, shake the can. The SECOND you get ANY response (she stops, looks at you,ect) PRAISE her like crazy!! If she starts up again (and most likely will) repeat this again and again. Eventually she should get the hint that the noise happens when she barks! It takes a ton of time and patience, but they DO indeed eventually learn if you are consistant. Good luck to you!!!!
