How can I stop pup's nusiance barking?

Madison is 8 months old and now that spring is here she's outside investigating everything. Problem is she's barking at neighbors, people walking down the street, a leaf blowing near her...you get my drift. I love it that she's alert and all but I find myself getting really frustrated with this loud, repetious barking and her not listening when I say "no bark".
Any suggestions that have worked for any of you with similar problem? Thanks

Try a water pistol but ensure you don't use it as a game sometimes. It must be just a shock thing to stop her.
Saying that, mine are bloody swines for it too...

That's a good question..I have a five year old that needs to learn too..I have tried everything with her. If I ignore her she will roll her ball under my chair and just get more insistant. I used a bark breaker on her when she was a pup and all I have to do is show it to her and she quiets down. Outside I tell them quiet! If that doesn't work I tell them Enough!! they know I mean business then. Terriers love to bark, and sometimes they just have to do it.

Lynda- I have tried the squirt bottle with Buddy in the house when he is on the couch clawing incesently at the window to get at the bunnies and barking his head off. Well, he comes after me, teeth bared snarling. Soo we don't squirt it at him, just hold it, well that doesn't work either. And outside. It is as if he is deaf! I am thinking about getting one of those bark collars that squirts the nasty smelling citronella?? But any tricks I would be willing to try as well. Buddy is a stinker somtimes :) Gotta love him!

Another deterrent I use is a rolled up magazine. One whack across their arse then when I pick it up now they KNOW !!!

Sam likes to sit in the window but barks at every damn thing that goes by............ it drives me nuts sometimes. More often than not I end up shouting as loud as he barks which I know you shouldn't do coz they think you're joining in!

I'm not really into punishment for Barking though they don't know its wrong to bark all the time just need teaching when its right! Sam does get the occasional tap on the bum when enough is enough but wouldn't resort to a rolled up magazine.

We try to distract his attention when barking just for the sake of it.

I had a small poodle/schnauzer mix...so you talk about barking
I was told tobasco sauce but thought how mean....so...came up with a sour note...lemons
just a squirt & he didnt like, but no harm...only took like two weeks & all I had to do was look at the lemon tree...& he was forever minding.

I tried the bark collar with Terra and it works.Now she only barks when shes not wearing it!!! The little stinker haha. Now I only put it on her when I have to leave her alone for few hours so that she doesnt annoy my neighbors.
