Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.
I don't care if you have to turn the radio up, stand your ground NOW while you can. When he barks at you, you turn into a statue, you don't move or look at him. You'll become so boring that the objects around him become so entertaining all of a sudden.
When he stops/is diverted you then praise him (but make sure he has stopped!). Don't make a sudden movement, this will make him bark again as a sort of 'How dare you frighten me' lol.
Cans with pennies doesn't work. I'm sorry, it just doesn't. It'll just frighten him and fear is never a good thing to use in training. Picking him up is just providing him with some attention (you need to look where he is to pick him up, direct eye contact is still attention).
