My dog won't stop barking for attention. What training helps?

Question

My dog barks for attention. How do I stop it? He barks until we give him what he wants. Its getting annoying. I tried to give him treats to stop this behavior by asking him to be quiet. (Trained him to be quiet on command but doesn't help) He stops barking until I stay near him then barks again when I leave. He barks a lot when my mom leaves to cook. He barks for what my mom cooks. I tried so much to stop this behavior and failed. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 9 months and 13 days old | 40 lbs

Patience is key. Continue to reinforce the "No bark" command. Try to determine the cause for barking (boredom, hunger, stress, anxiety,etc) and decrease or eliminate the stimuli.
