Barking with pugs

I have a friend with an embarssing problem. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks of things I could do to curb their pugs barking? there 8 and a half year old pug Kevin has rarely ever barked his whole life. they never thought Pugs were barkers. they just recently (about a month ago) got a now 15 month old pug named Dozer. He seems to bark at all noises. It could be because he's still getting used to his environment, there not sure. The first few days he barked a ton then he seemed to settle down and he didn't bark at all for almost a week and now he's back to barking again. I don't want him to totally stop him from barking ever. my friend tell him "quiet" in a firm voice but that doesn't seem to work that great anymore. Should they try treats? Any ideas? they live in a condo and they don't want their neighbors to hate them.

  • I am not an expert on dogs, but I do own a lovely Cavalier King Charles female who has learned not to bark at everything. Here are a few tips that might help. 1. when the dog barks, first investigate what it is barking at. If nothing serious, just speak to the dog, and explain "It's ok, nothing to worry about. then when the dog starts barking again, put yourself on the level with the dog, look it in the eyes, and say "Shhhh" , and give it a stern look. Then say, "No!" firmly. Do this everytime in a calm but firm way. 2. Another thing that always works, is that once the dog realizes it has done something you do not approve of, take action. Put the dog in it's crate, shut the door, and walk away. Leave the dog there for a short time alone. It's doggie time out. Pretty soon doggie will understand it's actions were a no no. My dog actually goes and gets in her crate if I discover her unwanted behavior. She knows she was displeasing.

  • Does PLEASE anyone? It is getting to the point where the naybors are banging on my walls with broom sticks or something heavy like that. My friend is being driven insane by the pug and the stick banging all night. if anyone knows how to silence a barking pug without hurting it, i would be so pleased to know.

  • I do so hope so because he is such a precious dear it would be a travesty to have to give him away.
