I know what you mean. Sophie can get a bit bossy when she wants her treats RIGHT NOW!!!! She will try barking until she gets another treat. I've been making her wait until she stops barking and is quiet a bit before giving in. They are so cute though it's hard to be firm about it but the alternative of Sophie becoming the boss of the house doesn't work for me.
I envy your weather. We're looking at 16 inches of snow
