Exercise and mental stimulation. Double it.

You first need to understand why your dog is barking. It could be a warning, anxiety, stress, excitement, boredom, or attention-seeking. Things you can do to prevent constant barking is making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, don't leave it alone for long periods of time, don't comfort or love on your dog if its barking for attention, don't shout at it to stop, and try to teach your dog the speak/ quiet command.

Anxiety. You aren't strict enough with the dog. Most dogs that bark too much are often spoiled. Allowed on beds, furniture, held, petted too often, allowed in laps, no meal time, talked to in baby tones... They often lack proper exercise. A dog that is trained well communicates with the owner and feels comfortable and relaxed with the leadership provided. A lack of leadership creates stress in the human environment.

You might start by checking to see if something is bothering it.pay extra attention to it while its barking to see if you notice anything strange going on.it may just be a car passing (some dogs can get very disturbed by stuff like that). also it can be its just trying to get attention in witch case try playing with it many times a day,or take it for a walk daily(exercise is usually the anwser) hope you find a cure soon.

Try this: Step 1: When he start to bark, wait until he stop barking and then say quiet. After you say quiet praise and reward him. Do this about 5-7 times. Step 2: After you practice the next step is to say quiet while he is barking. After you say quiet if he be quiet praise and reward them. Do this about 5-8 times. Eventually he will learn that whenever you say quiet he have to be quiet. If this doesn't work contact your vet and see if he/ she can prescribe your dog some sort of medication to help reduce barking. Now, if both of those things doesn't work then your only option is to hire a professional dog trainer. Good Luck!
