I do have this problem with one of my dogs, as well. She is just very needy with attention, some times she'll cry and just push her head into you, like 'Pay attention to me, now!'
I'm not quite sure how to break this behavior, I'm still trying to figure that out. So far, I feel like a mix of not paying attention to her, but not for too long, that she gets stressed and chews something. Then, try to lengthen that period of time. Make her be able to handle being on her own for longer stretches, until she realizes she'll get attention eventually anyways.
