The best way to keep a dog from barking is to establish a consistent set of rules and boundaries, such as establishing a "quiet" zone in your home and setting limits on when and where they can bark. Additionally, you can reward them with treats or praise for being calm and quiet. Lastly, make sure to give them plenty of exercise and attention so that they don't feel bored and want to bark.
