Do Pugs bark a lot?

No, Pugs do not bark a lot. While they can express themselves through barking on occasion, they tend to be more reserved compared to some other breeds, which makes this generally quiet breed ideal for apartment living. When they do bark, it sounds more like a “yodel” or an excited “yip.”

Individual personalities can vary, so there is bound to be a barky Pug out there. As with any dog, proper training and socialization from a young age can help curb excessive barking if it becomes an issue.
