Re: Fear barking?

The more you say quiet, the more they seem to bark as they think you are barking with them. Try going over to her, say "thank you" once, then immediately re-direct her to something else. You may want to leave a leash on her so you can take her away to do the something else. You have interrupted the unwanted behavior and replaced it with something better. All in a calm quiet way.
