Step 1
If a dog is barking at all the cars that go down your street then this can be a protection mechanism that they feel like you may be threatened and they are trying to protect you. It is common that a dog can start out when they are younger to bark a lot but you can break them of this habit.

Step 2
Create a trigger word so they know when it is ok to bark at something. You can tell your dog to speak and teach them that is a proper time to bark and by rewarding them when they do eventually they will understand that it is ok to bark on command. Dogs are never going to stop barking all together so it is good for them to know form you when it appropriate.
