I have 4 dogs and I don't find excessive barking acceptable either. So I agree with the neighbors on that one whether or not they own a dog is irrelavant.
Your dog sounds bored, under trained, and under exercised.
You telling her to be quiet is only adding fuel to fire. If she's outside all the time, she probably isn't getting much attention. Her barking gets your attention, it may be negative, but when they don't get positive attention, they'll take the negative.
Bring your dog inside. She can't bark at things on the street if she can't see them. She'll also get more attention from you so negative attention will be less desirable.
Exercise your dog. A tired dog is a good dog.
Go to training classes. She'll learn manners and be more behaved. You'll learn how to interact with your dog in a constructive manner.
The one reward she gets for barking that you can't control. When she barks whatever she is barking at goes away. She's succeeded and reinforced the behavior more. You'll never be able to control that. But by bringing her indoors and teaching her manners, you can teach her the acceptable number of barks. That doesn't mean that once she's trained you'll be able to stick her outside full time again. No dog should be banished to the outside.

The way I broke mine was by taking it out and tying a thin rope to it's collar, about 12-15 ft. long. I let her run around, and then when she barked, I yanked on the rope. She was little inough that it would make her come over backwards. It only took about 3 times and then she was done. She now only barks once when someone comes to the door. And no it never hurt her, just scared her because she didn't understand it. Then tell her not to bark. . . works everytime it's worked with 3 dogs now mine, my sisters, and my neighbors.

"No bark" is a device you use that emits a positive noise when they act appropriately, and a high pitch negative noise when they need to be disciplined. For extreme cases, try a shock collar. It doesn't hurt them, but it's very unpleasant,
Start off slow. Spray the dog with water every time it barks.

My neighbors have Shelties and they are known for the same barking she was told by her Vet to put pennies in a pop can and shake it when they bark saying "no bark" seems to have worked for her. Good luck.

bear in concepts that Terriers are of course diggers. anyhow, there are some bones that brings smells...attempt that for the digging they're going to opt to compliment the bone particularly than digging. Coming to the barking project. Barking is a reaction for a threat, you would be able to familiarize your puppy with people by employing taking it with you while vacationing friends, in step with hazard your loved ones, make your pup standard to strangers, that way the barking would be minimized in specific cases.

My dog does the same thing, and it can get really annoying!
Depends on if the dog is inside or out. If she is inside, you can try the water thing suggested earlier. Give her one or two chances to respond positively, then if she doesn't respond desirably, then shut the curtain or close off access to the room that she can see outside.
If she is outside, the pennies in a pop can help.
