Dog training may be one way of tackling canines who display "drama queen" behaviour.
Daily Telegraph blogger Pete Wedderburn has seen animals who display these characteristics numerous times during his career as a vet - and watched them get their own way as a result.
He explained animals can act up for a variety of reasons, giving the example that a dog could shiver outside a patio door to ensure his owner lets him in.
However, relenting to a pet's demands could have more serious consequences where dog food is involved, especially if a pet owner is coaxed into giving their pooch human food which is unsafe for an animal.
Mr Wedderburn said some canines "turn their nose up" at their regular dog food when they fancy a dog treat from a human meal.
As charity the Dogs Trust regularly points out, this can have dangerous consequences, as pooches can struggle to properly digest onions, garlic and other human consumables.
"If you think that acting is a skill beyond the ability of animals, think again," Mr Wedderburn concluded.
