The Pug: Obedience Training

By Jenny Donaldson

You should keep in mind that your Pug should be at least seven weeks old before you begin your Pug training and more particularly his obedience training. Also remember that it is desirable for you to first of all win over the confidence of your Pug puppy so that he will come to love as well as admire you. However, there is nothing wrong with starting basic training while your Pug is just three to four months old at which time he may be taught to walk properly on a leash and to sit, and even lie down when commanded to do so and also come when called.

Proper Pug obedience training requires exercising patience in making your Pug puppy learn the meaning of each command and in this you can use your hands as also the training leash while using a reassuring voice when getting him to learn a new routine. You need to repeat a word that is associated with a particular act and to also demonstrate repeatedly so that the Pug is able to then connect the word with the desired action.

You can get the most out of Pug obedience training if you give him a lot of encouragement as well as praise, and most important of all, repeat the basic training over and over again while focusing on the desired behavior and not punish behavior that you believe is bad behavior. In fact, your Pug will respond much better if you are fair with him while also showing consistency in your own behavior as well properly guiding him if you want him to respond well to your commands.

Pug puppies are usually quite small though powerful creatures and thus you need to give them proper Pug training so that they learn to walk nicely on the leash. To do so you will need to get the Pug puppy started out when he is quite young and thus more amenable to picking up things faster. In addition, you will need to provide Pug obedience training including teaching him commands such as sit, heel, down, stay and come as well as stand which are not difficult for your Pug puppy to learn.

However, praising him whenever he responds correctly to a command is desirable and you can even drill into him the correct behavior so that it becomes well ingrained in him which will then get him to respond to different commands in the appropriate manner.There is no doubt that to perform Pug obedience training in the proper manner is very important to making your Pug behave in a desirable manner and thus reduce the chances of him becoming a problem pet.

Proper Pug obedience training is important in getting your Pug to become less of a problem and more of a joy and you will need to start him off at an early age and exercise patience in the beginning. Once he begins to connect certain words with certain actions you can praise him and reinforce the habit through repetition, and also ensures that while imparting Pug training to use your best training voice that should be gentle as well as clear.

No doubt, Pug training and more particularly Pug obedience training can often prove to be hard on both you and for the Pug, and so you may want to limit your training sessions to not more than five minutes at a stretch. Though once your Pug begins to respond well to your training efforts, you may then even lengthen the training session to up to fifteen minutes at a stretch.

And only after the Pug begins to respond well can you extend a single training session to about fifteen minutes. In addition, you need to vary your training methods so that the Pug does not get bored with repeated training and using training equipment should also prove to be a useful aid in getting best results.
