The Pug is a toy dog breed with a wrinkly face and a medium or tiny body. It is sometimes described as ‘much in small’, because of all that it conceals in his tiny size. The Pug has a humorless expression but is a very frolicsome, interesting and clever dog. Though slightly dour about certain things, they succeed in dog obedience abilities. They’re responsive to human voice, so you don’t actually have to punish them. They adore human attention and feel anxious when ignored. You would love to have one of these conscientious dogs, always at your feet or in your lap or following you wherever you go.
When your baby dog first comes home, you must start by getting him used to all of the family members. Although he is customarily full of confidence, it may take him a little while to feel totally at ease in his new surroundings.
Begin the Pug training process systematically; teach one word with one action at a time; make sure you use the same word each time; and the association becomes powerful in his head. After you have taught him the 5 commands of sit, stay, down, come and heal correctly, move on to the following step, that is, to get him on the leash. Begin with simply a straightforward buckle collar on him, and continuously introduce the leash. Confirm it is light in weight and soft on the skin.
Remember, Pug training starts with understanding one word at a time. Teach him to sit, stay, and come one at a time. If you give 2 3 commands in one go, he’s going to be confused. As you pronounce the word match it with a corresponding gesture to drive the message home. As an example, when you need him to sit, say the word and put light stress on his back to show him what you need him to do. You will need to train your puppy to remain in a crate when required. When you start crate training, put your pup into his crate and remain within his sight. Give him a toy or treat to grab his mind and to help him associate the crate with good things.
It’ll take your Pug 1 or 2 days to feel comfy in his new environment. Be attentive and affectionate, careful not to overwhelm him with too much too shortly. Have fun with your little puppy by engaging him in games with his toys. And you’ll be so pleased with your clever companion!
