another widely used HUMANE technique ( jees guys some of you are cruel) is to pick the dog up and put it into a bedroom or bathroom CALMLY each time he begins to bark. When he has stopped barking for 15-30 seconds , go let him out. When he barks again, repeat the process. It's really quite easy to do. You just have to be consistent. He will learn that barking removes him from your presence ( his most prized thing) and he WILL stop doing it. You just have to be consistent and calm. There are no problem dogs, just inconsistent/harmful/regressive training methods.
