Most dogs crave attention. To the dog, negative attention is better than no attention. You could also think of it this way- If all you are ever told is what you do wrong how will you ever know when you are actually doing right. Most dogs want to please you and it makes them happy to do so. Let them know what they do that makes you happy and they will offer that behavior more.
