Is there ANYTHING to do for the barking?

Post Body

For context, I had two male Pyrs before my current female. They were more from show/pet lines, whereas she's from a farm from working parents, but I thought I was experienced with the breed when I got her. Naively, apparently.

She just barks in a way neither of the males never came close to. She barks if someone (who she's known since puppyhood) is in the kitchen to get a glass of water. She barks if I stand up from the couch. She barks if I'm on another level of the house behind multiple doors and happen to sneeze. She barks at the cats for no reason at all.

It's literally driving up anxiety and tension levels in the family and putting us on the edge of our sanity. We love her and don't want to rehome her, and I realize barking to ward off predators has been bred into Pyrs (even though the two boys before her didn't display this much of it), but is there anything at all that can be done to quiet her down even slightly?

I used to tell mine "thank you" for doing his job.
