Question
My bulldog puppy is about 5 months old and will often sit in front of us and just bark and bark for what appears to be no reason.  He has food and water and plenty of toys and he is certainly not lacking attention but sometimes we just wanna sit and watch tv and he will jsut sit there and bark at us and whine!  hes been doing it for about a month and i thought hed grow out of it.  We tell him "no bark" but nothing seems to work.  We let him on the couch with us and he will still just sit up with us and bark at us!  its getting to be very frustrating.  I dont know what he wants.  he is perfectly healthy.  we dont know what to do, we literally cannot sit in peace EVER.

Answer
Hi Tara,  Sounds like the pup is the Head of the Household???
Sorry, you need some books or videos on training your pup.  My friend wrote a good one called *** " The Human Pack "  -  I believe you can buy it from Amazon.com
Just google in : The Human Pack -
YOUR little one needs to learn that you are the head of the pack and not him.

Sorry that I can't help more but I am not up on dog training methods.  
Here is the link to the book-

BEST wishes... this can be corrected..
Just do a little research and reading...
