Repeat it in a cheerful tone several times, and then quickly present a treat or toy to him. Treats such as hot dogs, cheese, or leftover chicken extremely drive pugs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"milestone-1-house-training-8-16-weeks\">Milestone 1: House Training (8-16 weeks)&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pugs are adorable, but training a pug puppy is like climbing a mountain. It would be great If you start Pug training with house training, which must be done correctly. You can fully house train your dog and raise a well-behaved pug puppy with devotion and love. Pug training requires consistency and patience. Slow and steady wins the race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can help your pug by making their routine for feeding, exercise, and potty time. <a href=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-pugs\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6044\">Pugs need<\/a> to pee every hour or two due to their small bladders. Take your Pug puppy to the litter box and potty train them. When you&#8217;re not around, they need a place (potty area) to go, and litter box training works nicely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Pq0Mh4wesIN9o4_YBfuvSGrmvBDAXP0HfOCyiorhiW_ZHektdDgpGu4gIbx0EKRJ2Ko-8EDXfmHqOW2caVTezYobAnjFgdMVPfvmJZ4PZT1VkHl6aly5ObfLzbZudNmDw_wkPbvkrAMIQ4CUCneVkQ\" alt=\"Master Pug Training: toilet\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, potty train your pug properly. Artificial grass covers square dog litter boxes. In an emergency, you might use disposable puppy pee pads. Give treats and reward good behavior (like after completing the task). Watch your pup during bathroom breaks to avoid using the wrong spot.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pugs can be stubborn, but Pug training can be like a piece of cake with the right approach. Taking your Pug outside often, especially after meals, is a great idea. Crate training creates a safe and secure environment for your puppy, discourages destructive behavior, and aids in Pug training by teaching them to hold their bladder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pug owners should remember that crate training should never be used as punishment. Crate train your Pug as it is an important technique and can be an efficient method to house train your Pug. It works best if your Pug is comfortable with the closed door in the crate. Close the crate door while your pug eats, then open it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gradually wait 10 minutes after feeding your pug before opening the door. You may need to crate your pug overnight or for hours during the day. To get him used to this length of time, tell your pug to &#8220;crate&#8221; (not at meal time). Sit with him for a moment, leave the room for almost 30 minutes, and then you can return to the crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"milestone-2-socialization-8-14-weeks\">Milestone 2: Socialization (8-14 weeks)<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/gyOOVYTWBtdvaDW-YpCxlx2De7P0MP313X5HLcVbequYgWzCSDMCf8TTmelZ2y4sfk6NKG_nc_6K89Guz3TQ20LGG1vax4nkBpl14bXK3-DAJYwfT-0HfuASbR2o3ivKtLU5pnxcKY--vVi9BpB7xg\" alt=\"Master Pug Training: Ultimate Guide to a Well-Behaved Pup\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To learn social skills, pug puppies must interact with people, other dogs, and their environment. Socialized puppies are less likely to develop behavioral issues like aggression and fearfulness. Early Pug training and socialization build confidence, reduce anxiety, and make your puppy comfortable in different situations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It means giving your puppy positive and controlled experiences. Keep your puppy safe and comfortable during Pug training. Take your puppy for a park walk, introduce him to new people in a safe environment, or let him play with other dogs. Avoid overexposing or traumatizing your puppy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accourding to statista, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1334899\/pug-puppies-newborn-number-germany\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6045\" rel=\"noopener\">In Germany, 296 pug puppies<\/a> were born in 2021. Puppy socialization classes are a great way to start Pug training. These classes are intended to provide a safe environment where your puppy can socialize with other puppies and people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your puppy will learn to play with other dogs, behave in different situations, and respond to various commands in these classes. Puppy socialization classes are a great way for your puppy to gain confidence and become more at ease in social situations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"basic-obedience-training\">Basic Obedience Training<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/qis5uG7DpZkhwYoYVT74V63nLVkiVrslH0O1onGfy7WFqbvTCrNbFven_PcV93JN3zQHhd523SCjnDC4jkHEApPnClPbyu9g4PsZ4ploxMTE_A44kOYRqYGpi4GMbhK217xBBBHelIL0WEyzKPi6rw\" alt=\"Master Pug Training: Ultimate Guide to a Well-Behaved Pup\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Basic commands help your Pug puppy to behave properly at home and to be decent outside the home. It also helps in grooming your pug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can train your pug to sit. Say &#8220;Sit,&#8221; and hold a treat above the pug\u2019s nose until it sits. Give the dog a treat and praise right away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your Pug knows one of the basic commands well and responds quickly, you can lengthen the sit to teach your pug puppy the &#8220;Stay&#8221; command. All pug training requires consistency. &#8220;Down-stay&#8221; and &#8220;Stand-stay&#8221; are useful basic commands you can teach your small dog using the same reward method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When cleaning your Pug&#8217;s wrinkles daily to prevent skin infections and staining, use these commands to keep him still and reward good behavior. To avoid confusion, only one person should train the pup. But keep training sessions short and a source of fun. To keep things interesting, do things slowly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching your Pug puppy takes time. Use your hands and a comfortable training leash to teach calmly but firmly. Pugs learn by repetition. Praise and pat it. However, over-rewarding can encourage laziness. Pug obedience and playtime should be separate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this Youtube video for training your Pug.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teaching Winston to Sit ..\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XQ_6g2LWug4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advanced-training-and-tricks\">Advanced Training and Tricks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-siting-478x800.jpg\" alt=\"pug training\" class=\"wp-image-3661\" width=\"336\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-siting-478x800.jpg 478w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-siting-179x300.jpg 179w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-siting-768x1286.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-siting-917x1536.jpg 917w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-siting.jpg 1223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Pugs learn quickly and want to please their owners. You may teach them advanced skills like turning light switches on and off, shaking hands, giving a high-five, playing bow, and many more. Before teaching your pug advanced tricks, ensure they know sit, stay, come, and down stay. Trick training involves patience, effort, regularity, and rich rewards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like people, pugs can lose interest in boring chores. Choose tricks your dog enjoys. Start with uncomplicated tricks and train one at a time according to your dog&#8217;s speed and stamina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin in the Sit position and grab your Pug&#8217;s attention with the concentrate command to teach it to Shake hands.&nbsp;Praise your dog warmly whenever it raises its Paw on command. Please pick up your dog&#8217;s Paw gently with one hand while giving him a treat with the other. Repeat to see how quickly your Pug learns! Once your dog has mastered shaking hands, teach it to Wave and cover its face with its Paw.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can teach your dog to turn light switches on and off using the same basic strategy. Dog games are an excellent way to mentally and physically stimulate your Pug. Participating in such activities may be quite rewarding for your Pug and a way to develop your bond with your Pug. Consider introducing puzzle toys to your Pug or teaching new tricks and skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pugs are bright dogs who require constant mental engagement to remain happy and healthy. Basic obedience training should not be the end of training and mental stimulation. You can also provide mental stimulation for your Pug by taking him on new walks and experiencing new locations. Pugs enjoy exploring, and introducing them to new sights, smells, and noises will provide them with essential mental stimulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might love to read: <a href=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/pug-iq-are-pugs-smart-dogs-or-not\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6046\">Are Pugs Smart Dogs? \u2013 Here\u2019s How Intelligent Pugs Really Are<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reinforcement-and-refinement\">Reinforcement and Refinement<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cute-pug-1.jpg\" alt=\"Master Pug Training Ultimate Guide to a Well Behaved Pup\" class=\"wp-image-3662\" width=\"357\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cute-pug-1.jpg 476w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cute-pug-1-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Like other dogs, Pug puppies require ongoing training and reinforcement to ensure they are well-behaved and happy. Training is a continuous process that necessitates the constant reinforcement of learned behaviors. Once your pug has mastered a new skill or behavior, it is critical to reinforce that behavior over time to ensure it persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to training pugs, positive reinforcement is essential. You can grant him treats, praise, and even playtime as a reward for good conduct. Remember to be patient and persistent with your training efforts to ensure your Pug learns and maintains new behaviors. Like other dogs, pugs can develop troublesome habits if not trained properly and reinforced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pugs&#8217; common troublesome behaviors include excessive barking, jumping up on humans, and digging or gnawing on furniture. It&#8217;s critical to identify bad habits early and divert your Pug&#8217;s attention to more desirable behavior. Once your Pug gains proficiency in basic obedience training, progressively raise the challenge of their instruction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduce new instructions or skills, practice in more distracting surroundings, or even participate in dog sports or activities. If your Pug begins to bark excessively, shift their focus to a toy or treat and praise them for remaining calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-7-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Master Pug Training Ultimate Guide to a Well Behaved Pup\" class=\"wp-image-3663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-7-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allourcreatures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pug-7.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you are still wading around sites, hold your water to learn about pug training.
