Dogs bark for many different reasons, so without more information I'm afraid it's hard to say why Oscar is barking at you. Puppies may bark when they are anxious, excited, or frustrated; or when they are left alone, or as an attention seeking behavior if they want to play, or need to go outside to potty. Feel free to post another question with more details about what's usually going on when he barks at you, and we will be happy to try and help.
