Anyways, @ Hooks_Yorkie, how much exercise do they get a day? I find that the more tired and worn out Jackson is - the less likely he is to bark. A tired dog makes for a quiet dog. Take him on at LEAST one long walk a day. I try to walk Jackson at minimum for 20 minutes every day but I usually try to make it a 30-40 minute walk. He gets very tired out from it. Or, I take him to a dog park or a friends house or a family members house where the scenery is different, different smells, etc, it wears them out for sure. But a higher-energy, nosier dog may need an hour walk or more. Take him to a fenced in field or a dog park where he can run off leash and burn his energy.

Also, he's only 10 months old... he's probably going through a phase that he can grow out of as long as you're consistent with the discipline while he barks. He's young, and "finding himself" if you will. If he's cooped up, "hidden" in a dorm room or wherever you live, he's probably bored!
