Well it is enough to make a connection, you then shape it.
So if your dog is clicker trained you can get your dog to bark and be quite as a paired command(s).
Dogs do what works, so if you can get a remote bell or enlist the help of someone else, you can easily get this by the end of a week.
Frustration is usually the trigger for barking, so I train my dogs to bark for food when they come home at 7 weeks.
By withholding the food, whatever noise they make (and it may not be a bark) is reinforced with the meal.
