Getting Pug Potty Training Right
Pug potty training has to be by far the thing that most people dread when they bring home their new puppy. It is not that the training part is really any harder then training your pet to sit, stay or heel, but it is something that gives off a lot more frustration because of the messes that can occur. Cleaning up after your puppy has had an accident during their Pug training is harder then the actual training methods themselves.
But even though you may not care that your puppy can speak on command or not, Pug potty training is something that you have to go through in order to make sure that your home does not end up destroyed. There can be a lot of problems if the potty training is left for later as carpet and new floors are not cheap at all. Try to start training in the beginning and you will not be so wound up all the time when the puppy is freely walking around.
Now that you are finally seeing the importance of quick and proper Pug potty training, it is important that you take the right steps in making sure that all goes through without much fuss. The best method and this is suggested not only by millions of dog owners, but also by many dog training books, is the crate training method as this is the most controlled way to make Pug training work. Purchase the right size crate so that it is not too small and not too large and make it a fun place to be by never using it for punishment.
Now, if you are heading off to sleep or know that you need to go to work, it is important to make sure that you secure your puppy into their crate for safe keeping. This will not only keep your puppy safe from harms way but also keep your carpets free from being soiled. Whenever you cannot keep an eye directly on the puppy, it is best to place him or her into the crate, but just make sure that they are not stuck in there all the time in order to keep from crossing the line into neglect.
Once you open the door to the crate make sure that you are not just letting your puppy run around the house. When going through Pug potty training, it is important to make sure that they are immediately taken outside to their potty location in order to relieve themselves. Remember, they held it the entire time in their crate because animals do not like going where they sleep so they need to be given the chance to go in the right location and to be praised for it. Even though you are controlling the situation, make sure that you give all credit to the puppy.
Also, you will want to make sure that food and water is only available to your puppy during meal times. This part of Pug potty training will make sure that they do not consistently have the need or the desire to go potty. Food and water that is taken in by a puppy only remains in their system for about ten minutes or so, depending on the size of the dog. If food is left out all day to snack on, that is going to mean an awful lot of accidents on your pretty carpets.
Pug training does not have to be hard but you must have patience in order to see it through. When thinking about starting Pug potty training, you will want to read up on everything from articles to dog training books so that you have the best head start possible.
