I think you have to spend a bit of time training him. Rewarding him when he stops barking etc.
Does he bark around the home a lot?
Any breed which is prone to bark really needs to be taught the quiet commands quickly, I know we have had to do it with ours. If my bark out back I just have to say " shhhuuuuu " and they all shut up.. everyone has a different word but that is the word we use in our house. They know ;-)
