| Bark toward |
| Lecture, say |
| Scold shrilly |
| Bother vocally |
| Vocally bother |
| Pester vocally |
| Pester shrilly |
| Shrilly talk to |
| Talk to shrilly |
| Bother with barks |
| Pester with barks |
| Bother with blather |
| Pester, puppy-style |
| Talk to, puppy-style |
| Pester, barking-style |
| Scare away, doggy-style |
| Complain to, puppy-style |
| Protest to, kennel-style |
| Address loudly and at length |
| What some little dogs do to heels |
| Bark incessantly toward, as a rat dog |
| Try to intimidate, as a dachshund might |
| Talk to persistently and with a big mouth |
| Talk to at length in an irritating way: 2 wds. |
