My puppy barks all night, waking neighbors. How do I train him?

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 24 days old | 40 lbs

My dog doesn't stay out of house.we feed him before we eat so he won't bark but still he barks.We have a big space outside home.we live in 1st floor.I sit next to him in a chair and do my homework n we play for an hour.when I go inside he tries to come in. if we ask him to go out he wouldn't listen.He's too noisy.He barks in the middle of the night waking our neighbors.We checked if there's any disturbance that makes him bark.But no.we gave him deworming too. Any suggestions? we r losing sleep..

Damon is just a puppy, and need some consistent training to understand what you expect from him. I would strongly recommend crate training him, and crating him inside at night. If he is outside at night he is going to bark at any strange sounds for dogs or even coyotes barking that may be miles away. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A
