Be Patient Training Your Pug

Spend plenty of time showing your Pug what you expect before using corrections to corroborate their obedience training. Begin training your Pug while they are young since they are prone to dominant behavior and the results that comes with it! The biggest mistakes Pug owners can make is to permit their Pug to get away with disagreeable behaviors. Once Pugs believe that an action is acceptable it is almost impossible to get them to “unlearn” the behavior. Pugs must be trained at once. Actually, the initial six months of its life will decide their personality for the rest of their lives. Bad behavior should be stopped as soon as you are aware of it. Another thing, socialize your Pug extensively. Introduce your pet to all the members of the home. Take them to crowded locales, particularly if you live in an urban area. Get them acquainted with other animals too. Doing these actions is fantastic for your Pug’s behavioral development. House Training Your Pug

The most difficult task will be to house train your Pug. Their bladder and bowel control can be poor, especially when they are young. You will need plenty of patience and consistency while house training a Pug. Crate training works well with Pugs. This method should be tried while giving positive feedback. Fascinatingly, Pugs are quite sensitive to the pitch of human voices. Whenever you wish to reward your Pug with vocal admiration after they have done something correctly, you will have to “over do it,” so to speak. Make your approval worthy enough for an academy award. The more your voice is animated, the more it reinforces the belief to your Pug that they have done the right thing. Yes, it may seem a bit obsessive but we’re talking about Pugs here! Establish Firm Leadership When teaching your Pug to be obedient, you must establish whose boss. They are little and cute, but they are “wolves in sheep clothing.” Pugs have a pack-mentality and if they think that there is no leader, in other words “if they feel that you are a nobody,” they will try to take the lead. Pugs that do this are impossible to train. On the other hand, Pugs are quite friendly and sometimes a bit too friendly. They tend to get along with everybody. In addition, they are playful and have egos probably larger than their little bodies; they believe everyone must pay attention to them! moreover, they are very receptive to attention indeed. If you are unresponsive to them, they become nervous and eager. Translated in human terms: they become somewhat paranoid and think something is wrong with them. Talking about narcissistic personalities! Doing this frequently, will cause your Pug to become miserable; however, it shouldn’t be too much of an concern since Pugs are natural attention seekers.

You can start Pug obedience training for things like playing fetch, jumping up or getting down, and more. Your Pug is a cute little dynamo. They require patience, but the effort is worth the amazing results. As the saying goes, “the only thing cuter than a Pug is a well-trained one.”
