Agree with this. When we brought Anja into our home at age 5 she was really quiet, not a single bark, not even at the mailman LOL. Now there are times when I have to work to shut her up (and she is LOUD - sounds more like a male.) It took about 3 months for her to kick in.......... basically your dog needs what she did - time to understand that your home is a permanent one, not just a stop along the way. When she feels secure, that this is her territory, she will probably start to bark. I personally don't think you should try and force it in any way - have patience! You may well get what you are wishing for. And then some......
