How can I stop my dog barking at night?

We live on a fairly quiet street but sometimes get people walking down it during the night.

My dog always barks at them even though we aren’t directly on the street and have some front garden.

It’s really annoying because it wakes the entire family.

Shouting down causes a temporary lull but he always starts up again!

How can we stop him barking at the passers-by?

Get a crate for him at night for him to sleep. Don’t use it as punishment, and dogs like cave-like environments. Make sure it’s not near the window where he could see the people, though. Please don’t shout at him, in a dogs nature, he will think you’re a threat.
