How To Control Barking Dogs
The first thing you should do is take your dog to obedience classes. When she begins to learn the basic commands of sit, stay, down, and others, she will accept your role as leader of the pack, and will be more likely to do what you say. If she feels dominant to you, she will probably not obey you no matter how much you scream and yell.
You can teach your dog the quiet command, which is a command for her to stop barking. To do this, you must first teach her the speak command. Once you get her to bark on cue, you can 
teach her the quiet command so she'll know you mean business when she starts to bark uncontrollably. You might also consider one of the anti-bark collars on the market.
If your dog has a problem, even after learning the quiet command, she may have a mental or physical condition that is causing her to feel the need to bark. Consult your veterinarian or a professional trainer for more advice and information about a possible diagnose and treatment.
Some dogs have a high level of agitation for a variety of reasons, and medication may be necessary in extreme cases. Vets are prescribing drugs like Prozac and herbal calming formulas more and more. Never administer medication, even herbal products, to your dog without consulting your veterinarian.
In other extreme cases, surgery to lessen the noise of barking is recommended. In most situations, however, your dog should be allowed to bark once in a while as an expression of her moods. Simple training techniques and repetition can control most barking dogs.
