How to Train your PUG

Training Your Pug

The Pug is a comical, highly affectionate, and famously food-motivated companion dog. They are eager to please but can be remarkably stubborn.

Key Training Tips:

• Food is Everything: They will do almost anything for a treat. Use this to your advantage, but monitor their weight meticulously to prevent obesity.
• Breathing Safety: They are a brachycephalic (flat-faced) breed. Keep training sessions short and strictly avoid hot or humid environments.
• Harness, Not Collar: Always use a harness for leash training to protect their delicate windpipes and protruding eyes from pressure.

They are the ultimate clowns of the dog world, responding best to upbeat, highly positive, and gentle training methods.
