chosen: You could try using a firm voice and saying "no" in a calm tone, while gently but firmly cupping your hands around the dog's muzzle and slightly pinching its ear between your fingers. Doing this should let your dog know you're serious. Additionally, you could get an electronic collar that emits a shock when your dog barks. Make sure to use this option only sparingly and under close supervision.
