I’ve had good success using a sonic egg. It’s a portable bark deterrent. You could use it only when needed. I would also give her a no bark command to reinforce what you want. You can also teach her to go to her place. A bed, cushion or spot on the couch. Give a treat when she’s relaxed and quiet in addition to praise. Training takes consistency, time and patience.
