Barking can be a sign of boredom or lack of exercise. I had the same problem with my dog before and he barks at almost anything. Sometimes he barks when wanting attention from me. How long have you had him?

Here's something pro-active you can do. (excellent article)

I know how you feel. I have a min pin/chihuahua mix that is a barker as well. One of the reasons why I will never get a min pin again. They are one of the more yappier breeds, I think. Though she doesn't bark at EVERYTHING. Mostly just people, other dogs, and when she greets me at the door. . lol.

Good luck with your boy.
