The Pug is a toy dog breed with a wrinkly face and a medium or small body. It is often described as ‘much in small’, due to all that it hides in his little size. The Pug has a stern expression but is a very frolicsome, interesting and clever dog. Though moderately stubborn about certain things, they achieve success in dog obedience abilities. They’re attuned to human voice, so you don’t truly have to punish them. They adore human attention and feel anxious when ignored. You would love to have one of those attentive dogs, always at your feet or in your lap or following you wherever you go.
When your puppy first comes home, you should begin by getting him used to all of the family members. Though he’s customarily full of confidence, it might 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; ensure you use the same word every time; and the organization 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. Start with just a straightforward buckle collar on him, and steadily introduce the leash. Make sure it is light in weight and soft on the skin.
Remember, Pug training begins with understanding one word at a time. Teach him to sit, stay, and come one at a time. If you give 2 3 commands at one time, he is going to be confused. As you pronounce the word match it with an analogous gesture to drive the message home. For example, when you need him to sit, say the word and put gentle stress on his back to show him what you need him to do. You’ll need to coach your puppy to stay in a crate when required. When you start crate training, put your puppy into his crate and remain within his sight. Give him a toy or treat to take his mind and to help him associate the crate with pleasant things.
It’ll take your Pug a few days to feel comfy in his new surroundings. Be alert and affectionate, careful not to overwhelm him with too much too shortly. Have some fun with your dog by engaging him in games with his toys. And you will be so happy with your clever companion!
