Don't worry! This is a very common behavior

First step- Identify what the dog wants. He's annoying you for a reason. Does he want to sit on the couch? Does he want you to pay attention to him? Find out WHY he's doing this.

If you really want to get rid of this behavior once and for all, you have two options:

Option 1) Ignore him until he stops. Because you've given in to him so much, his incentive to annoy you will be very strong. In other words, you've been inadvertently rewarding his annoying behavior up until this point. Ergo, he will go through an "extinction burst" (http://www.shirleychong.com/keepers/archives/bursts.txt). In other words, because experience has taught him that the reward will come eventually, he will bark louder, paw harder, whine with more intensity, etc, because he knows that you will give in eventually. However, you MUST ignore this completely and outlast him. This will take some time and patience, but, when you outlast him, his annoying behavior will quickly diminish by itself.
Option 2) Introduce an aversive every time he performs this annoying behavior. For example, a loud angry "AH!"/"NO!". Then, give him an appropriate behavior. For example, lay down in your crate, play with your toy, chew on a Kong, etc.

My suggestion? Use both methods to really hit this behavior at the core. For example - ignore him completely and allow him to go through an extinction burst. Then, every time he annoys you after the extinction burst, introduce an aversive. Then, give him an alternate, appropriate behavior. And, voila, the behavior will disappear!
