What is your dogs psychology?
Your Dogs Barking is a way of communicating to you.

Your job is to understand this bark and learn how to deal with itAttention Barking
i advice you completely ignore your dog when it barks or whines for your attention, never encourage him/her whenever he goes barking for attention. Make eye contact with it, and speak to him/her untill he calms down, here you can now speak gentle works of love to him.
Domain ot Territorial or space Barking
Remember that dogs bark when their "space" is invaded. If Your dog barks because you have somebody in your property tell your dog "good job." on the first bark. But on the second bark be firm on him and tell your dog "thats enough". If theirs a third or subsequent bark you better send him to another place and tel him "Thats enough"

When ever your dog barks because of the feeling of seperayion, you have to teach your dog its not a big thing to be alone. When you leave the house, leave with making a show of it eg never say good-bye, give him treats or anything that signals that you leaving. And ofcourse when you come back home, dont make show of it. most time your dog will gets excited for seeing back, so dont look at him or acknowledge him until he calms down. When he does this, you can tell him "good dog."
No Bark Command
I will also advice that you teach your dog a no bark command. Train him/her to go to a place upon command. for instance "go to your bed." So when your dog barks, you can send him to the designated place to distract him from barking.
