Pug (Detailed Introduction)

       Different dogs vary in barking due to their temperament. So, does the pug like to bark? Generally, the pug has a relatively calm and steady personality, so it usually does not bark indiscriminately. However, under certain special circumstances, they will also bark loudly. Let's understand in which situations pugs tend to be more vocal.

       Under normal circumstances, a calm and stable pug rarely barks. However, if a pug is too excited, it might bark a few times. In addition, various scares can cause pugs to bark, such as thunder, doorbells, firecrackers—these sounds are all quite frightening to pugs. So when they hear these noises, they feel scared and begin to bark.

       Besides the above reasons, a pug will also bark when threatened by an enemy. Of course, this is to build its own courage and also to try to scare off the intruder with its barking. At the same time, pugs in heat will bark loudly, often barking desperately at night. Barking during a pug’s heat period is a normal physiological reaction. Unless the dog is neutered to prevent heat, it’s best to be tolerant of a pug in heat and not stop it too harshly unless it becomes excessive.

       Generally, when a pug barks, owners can use a commanding tone to stop the barking. Especially for those naughty pugs barking deliberately to cause trouble, owners must be firm and decisive when stopping it. However, when facing pugs barking out of fear or nervousness, owners should be more understanding and comforting, helping them calm down. It is more important to soothe their frightened, anxious emotions and help the pug gradually return to a peaceful state.

       Therefore, pugs are usually relatively quiet dogs, but they will also bark when startled or in heat. What we need to do is find different solutions according to different situations.
