How to STOP apps being added to dock?

I've closed them. I've selected 'remove from dock' and still they appear. I've researched here and find nothing. PLEASE ... how to stop them? I only want things in the dock that I specify. :-/

Thank you! Your second link shows > go to System Preferences, Select 'Dock' and bottom right checkbox is 'show recent applications in Dock.' I had looked there but missed it. I appreciate your quick response!!
