It's cruel (to me) but you can debark him. Hope it's not too late to reply to your dilemma.

Seems like this dog forum is almost dead and buried with no one participating.

Need to burn all the excess energy by exercising and training..Must know who's the leader for him not to take charge himself. Otw, keep him inside when you're not around. They usually bark at other dogs or strangers due to territorial instincts.
Read up some books on the topic. Time and energy needed to accomplish this.

A choke chain and treats can be used as deterrent and rewards for behaving.

It's 8 months late with the reply but I just have to. NEVER EVER use a choke chain of any kind. It has the negative effect!
