Jaeger used to bark at the fridge a lot. We told him no, and then ignored him. Sometimes redirecting his behavior helped.
Jaeger's a pretty active dog with a fast metabolism, so sometimes I think he does get legitimately hungry. He now knows if he is legitimately hungry, he can do a dance and talk (not bark) to get my attention. I'll ask him to "show me" and if its food he wants, he'll sit between his food and the fridge and eyeball the dog food to tell me he wasnt fed enough.
