First of all praise when he is quiet. Say "good quiet". Second, I would put him in a covered crate inside his play yard, at least when you are home. The cover really helps to quiet them. My puppy school teacher suggested I do this with Holly to get her to be quiet. Now, Holly has her crate door open in the play yard, and only yells when she really wants something. You need to set the boundaries early or you will have problems later on.
