Whats the barking situation?
Small dogs are often the worst barkers. But Pekes are surprisingly controlled, and will usually only emit a warning bark when they feel their terrorities are being threatened. This is not because they’re trying to get attention, but because they are trying to be diligent. They’re watchdogs by nature, and so a Pekingese bark will almost always accompany a knock on your door. Outside, they may be more prone to yapping at other dogs, especially if they haven’t been socialized well. This may be corrected with proper training.
