You really shouldn't give her something when she barks or this will get worse. My Lacey will set and bark at my husband the whole time he eats until he gets done and gives her a piece. I am now trying to stop her from doing that because it drives me crazy! She doesn't do it to me because I wouldn't allow it, so now at four years old I'm trying to teach her not to bark at my hubby when he eats. My hubby~well I guess he's a dumb dumb for putting up with it!
