I have a golden retriever and she used to bark at anything that moved, I got so frustrated because of the neighbours whinging I rang a police dog trainer and he told me to fill an old spray bottle with water and every time she barked to spray it at her, not in her face, you have to persevere and do it for a while and it does work and it is not cruel, failing that you could put about five coins in a tin and shake that every time your dog barks, it gets their attention and stops them barking, give them both a try and hope they work.

You need to spend time with her and reassure her. She can hear dogs and cats and all sorts of things for miles around. You just need to show her its ok to bark a little, but if she persists you need to take her back inside and show her shes been bad.
Only by doing this will she associate being quite and not being chastised with being allowed into the garden.
I.e. If im good i can stay out / if i bark i'll be taken in.
Apparently the same principle works with kids. but they are harder to train - lol.

It must be annoying for the neighbours to. You can either keep it inside until it stops barking or give it a bone or something to play with.
It could be barking through boredom or because it can smell a cat.

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.

You get a belt to tie around her mouth which prevents barking

Dogs have the right to bark, if they do so in a discrete manner. (There's no excuse for sloppy, slurred barking.)
