How do I train my dog not to bark so much?

I have a Border Collie / Blue Heeler mix and he barks incessantly. I would like to know some techniques to get him not to bark so much. And no, I do not have his voice box removed, I'm against it!

This breed likes to be busy. Actually, he must be busy or it becomes boring, which leads to an irritant such as barking, digging, or chasing cars. The Border Collie is a herding dog, which means he has an urge to gather a flock. This could be herd of sheep, children, cats, squirrels, or anything that moves, including cars. This instinct to nip, poke, peel, along with their energy, can not be trained elsewhere. Rather, it should be addressed. He must have a task, whether it is actually herding sheep or competing in dog sports. You could give it an exercise or a game to make it busy.
