Solving Pug Problem Behaviors
You have finally been able to bring home your new Pug and you feel that you started out on the right track and you may very well be correct. You bought everything you needed such as food, a collar, a leash, a bed, potty training pads and a few toys along with everything else one would need for a dog. You may have also read up a lot on what to expect from your dog but something a lot of people forget to read up on are the Pug problem behaviors that they give their owners on occasion.
This is not to say that you did not do your job in preparing for your pet and this also does not mean your pet does not like you. Pug problem behaviors will come no matter how much your dog loves you and no matter how much you prepared for this little dog to come into your life. As long as you are the one maintaining control then all will be well and you will soon see that the Pug training works out and the problems have disappeared.
The first time you see any signs of Pug problem behaviors, it is important to take action so that you do not miss out on being the one in charge. A dog that thinks they are in charge will try to run the house and also try to run you, which means a bite could be coming your way that you did not expect. Having a dog, any dog, feel that they are in control of the home is a terrible mistake that will lead to a lot of problems down the road.
So when your Pug is showing signs of behavior issues, it is important to take care of it right away so that not only you, but also your dog is safe as well. By taking quick and authoritative actions, you can make sure that you are the one in control. Never use force such as striking a dog in anyway in order to make the point you are in charge. But what you can do, without screaming, is use a deeper toned and firm voice with the dog when they have done wrong and state the word no a few times.
Although this seems to be just a little too simple when dealing with Pug problem behaviors, that is all it really takes. Your little dog wants your love and they want more than anything to please you, but at the same time they want to know what you will allow them to get away with. Make sure you scold your dog but then follow up with love and affection, as you do not want to punish your dog by withholding your love.
By taking the right steps as soon as trouble starts to occur, you are saving yourself from a world of trouble. Never let anything slip past you as what may seem like nothing much now may turn into a terrible disaster in a few months. Remember, correcting your dog is more then just making sure that your home is safe but so that you will be a dog that was raised properly with respect and obedience.
Whenever you are trying to fix any Pug problem behaviors that are coming up, it is important to revert back to the basic Pug training that you began with. Even the best of the dog training books will tell you, Pug problem behaviors are just bound to happen and there is not anything that you can do to prevent it.
