Demand barking; please help 😭

Hello,

We have a 4 month old Keeshond named Luna and we absolutely adore her. In her nearly two months with us she’s picked up tricks, sleeps through the night, and is pretty much potty trained and crate trained (holding space for the possible teenage regression). However, Luna is a demand barker. She does not bark at noises or is even particularly reactive. She just barks. She barks at the cats if they get too close because she wants to play (she’s confined from them by a play pen we keep her in) she barks at us for attention, and while we were giving her attention, barks when she’s bored, barks when she’s annoyed, when she’s tired, screams when we are pouring her food bowl. I understand she’s a puppy and she’s trying to communicate but it truly is nonstop all day and we are at a loss.

It’s honestly almost as if every movement, everything we do suddenly stimulates her and she is barking/reactive about it.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas? I feel like giving her treats when she’s quiet just isn’t translating/feasible. Do we need to keep her entertained every minute?

Please help 😭
