A Pug

A Pug Temperament

Are you thinking about adopting a Pug as your new family member? Adopting a Pug is a big change, just as any other pet-raising family member, and just like any other member, pugs bring their unique problems with them. Pugs aren’t easy to train, they’re easily distracted, have a stubborn streak, and aren’t always interested in repetitive tasks. However, if you want a Pug, there are things you can do to help.

Most pugs are originally from China, and they were originally bred for dog protection. However, these dogs became popular all over the US because they’re great companions and great pets. Many people choose pug puppies for their first pet because they’re such a good fit for families with children. Many pug owners end up taking several pugs on vacations with them since pugs love attention and get along well with most children.

Training a Pug may be a little more difficult than training a standard terrier, but it can be done. The biggest thing you need to remember when training your pug is to be patient and understanding. Unlike other dogs, pugs are very resistant and can be manipulative by nature. This can make training them frustrating, especially during initial training where they won’t cooperate or respond to commands.

Breathing problems make sure you take them to the vet right away.

While breathing problems don’t always mean the dog has some sort of illness, they do signal to a vet that something might not be right. Be careful though – pugs often hold their breath when they’re excited or nervous, so unless you know your pug very well, it’s wise to err on the side of caution. Don’t punish your pug if he or she has a breathing problem – this will only make the situation worse. You should only take your dog to the vet if there are some obvious signs.

Another thing you can do to help train your Pug is to understand him or her better. A Pug is incredibly intelligent and able to learn new things quite quickly. They can be trained to follow simple commands such as stay and sit, as well as tricks such as handshake and head tilt. Since pugs are highly curious dogs, training them requires that the owner is constantly on the watch for cues, such as pulling out a toothbrush, or looking around suspiciously at another dog on the leash. Training your pug doesn’t have to be an impossible goal – it just takes patience and commitment from the owner.

A Pug has a short coat that is easy to maintain and doesn’t require daily grooming.

Pugs do well with most conventional grooming practices, but only the proper tools must be used. Most people think that brushing a dog is the same as brushing a cat. This couldn’t be further from the truth! A Pug does need to have a professional groomer look over their coat once a year, more often if the dog is kept indoors.

As much as owning any breed of dog is an exciting and fulfilling endeavor, owning pugs can also be a frustrating experience for those who don’t know how to raise and care for these types of pets. Although pugs are generally very healthy, they still tend to get fleas and ticks.

This is why it’s important to make sure your pug isn’t kept in a dirty area – your pug will not have any fun with you if he or she gets sick. This is why it’s a good idea to either spay (remove the reproductive organs of the female pug) or neuter (remove the testicles of the male pug) your pug.

One of the key reasons why these dogs become so hard to train is because of their nature. Pugs are very stubborn dogs and it takes some effort to properly train them. It is possible to overcome the stubbornness of pugs, however, if you have the proper tools.
