Ignore ignore ignore. Do not look at him, do not talk to him, do not touch him. Do not talk over him, do not make reference to him, do not turn the tv up to hear over him. All of this lets him know his braking is affecting you and he';ll continue to do it. IGNORE him.
Then NEVER let him out of his crate if he's making ANY type of noise... no barking, no wimpering, nothing. Only let him out when he's quiet. He'll learn quickly enough that barking doesn't get what he wants.
Right now I'm sure his barking is getting PLENTY of attention (in the form of SHUT UP!) Dogs and puppies don't care if the attention is "oh what a gooood boy you are!" or "Mangy mutt, shut up!" Its all attention to them.
