From the top of my head - if Cody is not usually a barker - much like my Taylor - then he will respond to your requests for him to be quiet - because he is not a continuous barker in all kinds of circumstances so he is able to restrain himself. When Taylor puts up a barking performance I say sssshhh very loud and put my finger accross my mouth -just like you would to quieten a child. And it works very well - unless he is really really keyed up and it might mean something more physical such as if he is on a choker chain with a lead, to jerk the lead and say a firm NO so that he will snap out of it. And praise him when he does.
