I just adopted a 4 year old miniature schnauzer. He's a great dog, but barks way too much. I would like to know if training could help.

Yes training can help and this is a common problem with this breed. You can try shock collars or bark collars that spray to discourage that behavior. You can look into having someone come to your house to help
