It sounds like Sofi may be barking because she hears something outside - this is a common reason that many dogs bark. You can help by turning on a TV, white noise machine, or something else to help block outdoor sounds. Another good strategy is to call her to you for a treat every time she starts to bark - if you're consistent about this, she will learn to automatically run to you for her treat when she hears a noise, instead of barking.
