Pug House Training

Pugs with their small curly tails and wrinkly face are among the cutest pet you could have. If you have given up on having a pug due to difficulty in pug house training, think again. Many dog owners have done it, only a little persistance is all you need.

The pug is also like a person who need privacy and their own place to go back to. The main aim of the training is that they should learn not to soil the place where they live or you live. So the end of the training, they know where to eat and the right potty place.

House training a puppy can start with a crate available in most pet shops. It may look very minimal, but its one of the best ways to get them trained. Make sure you get the right size of crate though so they can sleep and stretch in it. 

Words that you use in pug house training and your actions also play an importance part as your pug has to get used to them. So use the same expressions everytime and they must mean the same. Do not confuse the pug. Also be ready with a scooper to clean the mess.

If you have time to walk the dog, set up a routine and follow it strictly. If you do not have time for that, a good indoor solution is paper training. They are good for the cold months too. You train the pug to use a designated area of the house lined with newspaper.

If you have suitable surroundings, you can train them to let themselves out and return when finished. Here you do not to monitor them once they learn the trick. You could even fix a toddler gate and do not be surprised if they start going out every two hours, thats how they are.

Do not use shortcuts or change the steps during pug house training as it can be very disorientating. It will take time and you need to work with patience. Begin your training immediately after they have finished eating and use words like ‘potty’ or ‘walk’.

You also need to understand that the younger they are, the shorter is the time between pees and potties. So they have to put up with their body as well get along with your training. This is a real challenge for them. So it is for you too as they are not a breed who can be easily housetrained.

Always appreciate your pug with a pat or ‘good boy’ when the dog does exactly what he is told. Do not punish or abuse your pet during pug house training as this will actually backfire on you. Accidents will happen, so be prepared. Do not get carried away with their cute looks, be firm and stick to your training plan.

Use Firmness And Discipline When Potty Training A Pug

Pugs are the most adorable breed in dogs. As innocent as they look, potty training a pug is a real task. With determination and time, potty training can be completely successfully. You should however be planned and prepared for potty training a pug.

The oldest ways of potty training for the puppies is the Crate training. Get yourself a good size cradle and make them understand its for them to sleep in and have a bit of their own time. As the training begins take them away from the crate after a feed, to the potty place.

The crate should be neat and hygienic at all times. Leave your pug in it with a toy. Some people even use pet cages. Reward him with a small treat when he has been a good learner.

The potty place for potty training a pug could either be indoors or outdoors depending on your lifestyle and time on hand. Some dog owners prefer to get them trained one either first and once done after a year or so train them in the other. Its a bonus to do it both ways if you are going away or if its too cold to go out.

Again with outdoors, either you could train them to go out on their own through a dog hole or you could walk them. For indoor potty training, the newspaper is the best option. Once you decide on the spot in the house, just lay some papers and do your training around the same day everyday.

Pugs are animals who need to pee a lot. Its quite normal, but take him to a vet just to make sure things are fine. To tackle this problem you could limit his water intake.

Never get overwhelmed during the training, just stay calm and keep going. You may also see that once they turn 6 months, they have more control over their body.

Do not give away when they give those innocent cute looks. Be a disciplined trainer and make the food available only at food time. Be it snacks or water, once its goes into their body they come out in the next 15 minutes. So time your training accordingly.

Pugs are very focused on their owners words and actions. So use words like ‘go potty’ or ‘potty time’ or ‘walk time’, just to make them aware that its that time of the day.

Potty training a pug may take time and persistence, but do not give up.  They are not such a bad breed. Its worth having them as pets after all this. Probably talking to some potty trained pug owners will encourage you in the right direction.

Pug Training For Puppies

If this is your first Pug puppy, you are in for quite a treat. They are great dogs, but they need a lot of training, especially early on in their new lives in your home. It is not so much about what you have to train them to do in the early days as it is in what you have to train them not to do. You are probably reading and purchasing every book you can find on pug training right now that you can get your hands on; just make sure you read this article along with all those other books so you get your pug started out on the right track.

Like a child, the early days of a Pug’s life are where they do the bulk of their learning. However, you don’t have years to do this. In fact, you really don’t even have a year, you have only the first few months to get your Pug pointed on the straight and narrow. Any bad habits you allow them to develop in the first few months will be carried to their adult life. If your dog acts up as an adult in a manner that you allowed when they were a puppy, you will only have yourself to blame.

Proper pug training is critical because any behavior that you allow during this formidable time is behavior that they will do each and every day for the rest of their lives because they think it is okay to act that way. If you allow your cute new little Pug puppy to jump up on the sofa, he will think it is okay. All of a sudden as he gets older, he continues this behavior, you don’t find it so cute because he is too big to be on your couch. Too late, no matter how much you discipline him now, it is in his head that it is okay to act this way.

You see, puppies are like children and when they act mischievous, we tend to laugh and think they are cute and let them get away with it. As they get older, this behavior is not funny anymore and we want them to stop. Just like a spoiled child, getting them to do so is almost impossible.

The one thing that you have to keep in mind every time your new Pug does something that you think is cute when they are a puppy, you have to ask yourself the question if you are prepared to deal with that behavior for the lifespan of the animal. You allow it not, you better allow it later or you will have a spiteful Pug on your hands!

When you bring your new Pug puppy home, make sure you develop the behavior that you want to see as an adult dog when they are a puppy. Remember, they are animals and they need to be trained. They are only following your lead and anything that they learn at this young age will be burned into their brains forever as acceptable. You are not going to get to retrain them, so make sure you provide adequate pug training the first time around and you will have a great disciplined pet for many years to come.
