Most dogs will do as you are desiring, on their own once they hit a certain age.
As they mature, they start barking once or twice, and then looking to you for feedback.
A neutral response to the dog's bark is pretty effective with most dogs.
If the dog doesn't stop on it's own, it's easiest to just give the dog another command, e.g., recall the dog and place it in a down.
I don't like getting so focused on training "bark" and "no-bark" with a dog, because it can really blow up in your face, if the dog decides "bark" is more fun that the reward you give it for "no bark".
The dog needs to have a solid foundation of obedience, and a certain level of maturity, before you start training behaviors that are self-rewarding. If the dog doesn't have an established pattern of obeying commands, and a certain level of bidability with the handler, it can be a PITA to train "negative commands" (jump vs no jump, bark vs no bark).
I pick up her huge dino bones at the local butchers, where I also get the majority of her food.
They carry hooves, ears and all of that, but they just don't last long enough to make it worth it.
I've been using the redirection idea whenever Layla starts to bark. She stops immediately. I ask her to sit, down..etc. It works and then she, at times, forgets about the barking behavior.
