Corgi barks at everything, help!

Any suggestions training a corgi when it is ok to bark and when it is not. Max is barking at everything. When he hears a noise(all the time), when we are eating and he wants some(not allowed), when he wants to play on his terms. When we tell him "no bark" he gets more aggressive. We start Kidnergarden tomorrow, so maybe that will help. Just thought I would see if any of you have had success with a specific technique.

The flip side to ignoring the dog when it barks is starting interactions when it's quiet. So if your dog wants to play and is barking at you, ignore him until he's quiet. After he's been quiet for a short time, pick up a toy and offer to play.

My Jack is quite the barker. He will "talk" to me sometimes, but with my husband he will sit in front of him and bark and bark til he gets his way. Guess which of us ignored his barking when he was a teenager, and which of us didn't? :-)

Do you think it'll work through the floor? LOL We have thin walls so I can hear Charlie barking and howling every morning downstairs in his crate after my roomy goes to work at 6am.
