The best way to get your dog to stop barking is to provide them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Make sure they have enough space to move around, as well as toys that they can play with. Reward them when they don't bark, such as giving them treats or praise. You could also try redirecting their attention to something else if they start barking, like a toy or a treat. Finally, if you feel it's necessary, you can use positive reinforcement methods such as clicker training to help teach your dog to be quieter.
