The best thing to do first is determine the reason why your dog is barking. Is he overexcited? Someone too close to the house? Wants attention? There are many reasons why a dog will bark, and for energetic breeds, it could just be because they are bored, or breed characteristic. There are a number of simple tips you can use to stop your dog from barking excessively:

Walk your Dog more often

If your dog is friendly with other dogs, let you dog socialize with other dogs

Teach your dog barking is OK until told to stop

Praise your dog during quiet time

After your dog stops barking, give him a treat

When your dog barks excessively, correct him immediately

Spent time with your dog. Once he starts barking correct him and the second he stops barking praise him. Do this over and over and soon he will catch on.

Also some breeds bark more than others, so you will have to look at your breed.
