Necessities for guiding your dog:
(1) To keep your pug in an appropriate place is essential hence a standard size shipping crate is needed.
(2) Secondly you should choose a suitable “potty area” for your dog.
(3) To pick a proper “Potty Word”.
(4) You must offer those snacks that your pup likes the most.
(5) To get rid of any accident areas you must buy a cleaner which is non ammonia based. It would be best if you buy the one which is made for pets only. “No Go” is one such example that you can purchase from pet departmental stores.
(6)You should have a proper schedule to be familiar with your pugs needs.
(7) Above all you need a little bit of time and patience!.
Okay, we mentioned previously the crate (don't you love that word)
It would be best to purchase a crate made of moulded fiberglass. As your dog sees the crate he realizes that the crate is a room of his very own when you are not with him or not paying your complete attention.
When you purchase a crate for your pug dog it must be of a standard size as a very large crate can have an effect on your purpose of housetraining. For most young pug puppies, you will require a crate divider. These are very helpful because you can buy a crate which will fit your adult dog and utilize it while he is still a pup.
You must have an appropriate schedule for your dog since it helps to meet your dog’s needs. The schedule must be designed by noticing every day the habits of your puppy.
When your pugs crate door is opened, hold your dog up and take him to the spot of your yard that will be the "potty area". You must always take him to this similar area for potty time. After potty you should offer your dog his favorite snack for example the hot dog or cookies.
During its potty time you must not play with your dog. An appropriate training must be given to make him realize his timing of potty.
The instant the puppy begins to relieve himself, utter the word that you have chosen for your potty word. It may be "go potty", "hurry", or anything you like. Just choose a word and don't change it! As the puppy is eliminating, repeat your selected word in a lovely and praising tone of voice..
Admire your pug puppy when he potties on the designated spot. After potty take him inside and offer favorite snack to him. It is essential to take him outside right after food or playtime. You must repeat this sequence till evening.
I personally don't give food and water after 10:00 p.m. to my dog. This seems to help the puppy stay clean throughout the night. At bedtime, shift the crate to your bedside. Make sure your dog is in a draft-free area and has plenty of warm bedding.
(I have found that a cold puppy is soon a "wet" puppy.) Most pups will settle in comfortably well if they are near your bed. When the puppy wakes up in the morning, he will kick up a fuss to go out. Keep in mind your areas and treats!
