Barking is a difficult one. I'll try to find a good link or two. i have a standard poodle who likes to bark. And nothing has worked except a citronella collar. The problem with barking is that it's self-rewarding. The dog sees a burglar approaching--mailman--and barks. The mailman walks away. The dog realizes that the burglar--mailman--was chased away by his/her barking, thus reinforcing the behavior.
Here is a link with many good rticles on barking. Hopefully one will work for you.
