Attention Seeking Behaviour
Bad behaviour in dogs are mostly natural behaviour; it comes in the package. Good behaviour on the other hand need to be inculcated, you'll have to invest some time and effort. Whether it's begging or other objectionable behaviour like whinning, barking for attention etc it's about YOU as the alpha dog taking charge and not giving in and stay consistent. Begging for food or nudging with a toy for a game is Attention Seeking and it often evolve to Barking for attention for the times you refuse the dog. Most probably such dogs rules the house.
