C'mon, dogs are dogs, and they bark :-) It seems that your dog has a very strong guarding/protection instinct and she takes the task of warning and calling the pack together very seriously. It may be that she perceives the open door as a dangerous situation and she decided to guard it. This is not at all uncommon, the late GSD of my parents would behave exactly the same way when they left the door open. Just for a fast relief: maybe investing in a doggie-door would help? The first dog would have an option to go out and the barking one wouldn't most probably mind. As a short term solution, wearing a muzzle (lightweight, breathable one can limit the barking. Then, you will need to have a closer look at barking behaviors of the second dog. How is she behaving? Is she concerned? Aggressive? Fearful? Without understanding what causes her to behave like that everything you may try are just quick fixes - which, as you have already seen may or may not work. A good start os to understand your dog's body language better, there is a wonderful book by Turid Rudgass "On talking terms with dogs" - I highly recommend it. Then there is a nice watchdog behavior explanation in Stanley Coren's "Intelligence of dogs". Dr. Ian Dunbar has a section on correcting barking behaviors with positive methods in his book "How to teach a new dog old tricks" Why these books? Because for me (and many others I shared my knowledge with) they proved to provide much sounder advice that these bunches of Cesar Milan's clones wannabe dog "trainers". It'd be also interesting why the first dog pees inside: are there some health issues or the potty training is incompete? I know, I've written a lot, but I believe there may not necessary be a quick fix to your problem.

Don't beat him or spray him - that's abusive!
Talk with a trainer; several pet supply stores have them on staff for consultation. Since that behavior can lead to a visit from your local Animal Control people, you do want it to stop. There are also many books available on changing pet behaviors, none of which include beating or spraying.
Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine has a website, as do others such as Cornell. I've also found good suggestions on the DogAge website.
Whatever you decide to do, remember not to do anything to your dog that you wouldn't want done to you. Building trust between you and your dog is vital in changing his behaviors. Continue to be a responsible owner whom he can trust.

Well you can get a shocker coller that shocks it when it barks, you can get them almost anywhere, the louder your dog barks the stronger the shock is (theres siz levels) i wouldnt do that to my poopsys (i have 3 girl dogs myself) if my dog did that though, i would make a sharp noise to make it stop or pop its nose with your hand, and after you do that for a while it'll learn!

Does he bark all the time, or is it only when someone knocks on the door or approaches your house?
You need to disipline him! Beat the piss out of him, haha I'm kidding. Everytime it barks you gotta do something it doesn't like or send em' to obedience school. What tpe of dog we talking BTW

A spray collar that sprays a nasty smell every time the dog barks.

One way is to take a large chunk of meat and inject some "Origel"(sp?) (the tooth numbing gel) into the meat and let the dog eat it. It will numb the dog's mouth and without it's sense of feeling it will shut up and lay down.
