Or cyanide. Or backing up without looking.

Seriously, though, if the dog is otherwise well trained, he should be
able to shut up on command easily. Whenever he yelps, hold his mouth
shut with one hand and say firmly "quiet". If you can catch the mouth
in a startling manner then this will work quicker. I always allow
Gili, out otherwise very obidient mutt, to bark as she does so
infrequently. When we were at the mother in law's place, I had her
shutting up on command within a few hours.

Or simply try KDogControl -> Options -> Sounds and uncheck all that
apply (barking, yelping, whining, begging, growling).
