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.
