In most people's minds, the pug is a clumsy animal, but with the right training, pugs can be smart and lovable, instantly becoming “well-behaved.” Today, the editor will teach all dog owners some methods to train their pugs, so that the pug is no longer a troublemaker, but the dog owner's intimate friend.

Getting a pug to relieve itself in a designated spot is not an easy task. At this time, the owner needs to be very patient. First, observe the pug's bathroom schedule. Once you notice signs that it needs to go, take it to the designated spot. If it obediently relieves itself there, praise it immediately. If it shows resistance or misbehaves, the owner must take necessary measures to let it know you are upset. Over time, the pug will learn to go to the designated place obediently.

Secondly, when training a pug, focus on obedience training. It is not recommended to start training when the pug is very young; generally, training can begin after the pug is over six months old. Similar to potty training, after the owner gives some simple commands, if the pug obeys, it should be rewarded promptly. If it does not listen, the owner can be a bit stricter until it complies. Especially when correcting the pug's bad behaviors, owners should never tolerate mistakes but correct them in a timely manner.

After all, pugs are animals, so we cannot expect them to obey all the owner's demands. As long as they relieve themselves in the designated spot and do not develop particularly bad habits, that is sufficient. Also, when training a pug, it is important to follow the principle of clear rewards and punishments. Rewards are recommended to be mainly food-based, while punishments should be delivered with a slightly firmer tone. Never scold or hit the pug, as this can easily backfire.

Overall, although pugs' intelligence is not especially high, they are not impossible to train well. As long as the owner masters certain training techniques, the pug's training effectiveness can be greatly improved.
