To stop your Pug from barking excessively, identify the cause first—whether it’s boredom, attention-seeking, or anxiety. Provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention to keep them engaged. Teach the “quiet” command by rewarding them when they stop barking on cue. If they bark at certain triggers, like the doorbell, desensitize them by practicing calm behavior during those events. Avoid reinforcing barking by giving attention when they bark. Consistency and positive reinforcement will help reduce excessive barking over time.
