That problem is caused alot of the time by starting them too young. They can't keep up with an older dog. I would let her grow up some and while your waiting work her at home with a shock collar. Set it on a low setting and if she goes to barking, bump her with and tell her to hush. When she gets that down and you go back to hunting you can turn her behind a dog and bump her if she barks and she will know why shes getting bit.

Let her grow up a little. She is just young and a little emotional about the whole deal is all. If the barking bothers you that much (me too) then keep her on a leash during your hunts and pay close attention to her wile you lead her. When she seems no longer worried about were your other dog is or what its doing then cut her loose. Leash her back up and try again if she starts the barking for your other dog. Im guessing it wont take very long. I have found that the female pups tend to be a little more emotional than the males. Go figure.
In my opinion its a bad idea to spark a pup at that age in the woods. It cant help acting like a pup no more than a toddler can help crying after their mother. To many distractions for the correction to do much good in the woods and at the end of the hunt you may end up with a freaked out pup on your hands. If you need to use the shock collar I would do like bigo and SoupHound09 suggest. In the back yard with absolutly no distractions.
