I think you are right! Riley's barks are his ways of demanding things. He likes to drink water out of a cup with ice (SPOILED) so when he sees a cup on the table, he barks/demands so that someone will get it for him, and what do you know, someone does. I started to tell my family that when he barks, we can't give him what he wants or that will just encourage more barking. We have to start working on that AND we have to spart spending more quality time with just him and give TJ some alone time!
Thanks for all of the replies. I really appreciate it!
