What do you do when she barks? Start yelling? Corrections? Is she barking outside? inside the house?
If she is outside, bring her in...nothing more annoying then your neighbors having to listen to a barking dog.

You need to get some professional help...none of us have seen the dog, or how you interact with the dog...very hard to help in the internet.

In once obedience class we had a very barky goldendoodle....the instructor had the owner put the dogs snout in between her knees.
Grab the dog by the collar...place dog in between knees...and then praise when dog is quiet. It worked very well. The dog by the 6th week did no silly barking at all.
