Knowing All About Pug Potty Training

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.

First thing first is that you really must select the method that will work best for you and your puppy. The best way to go about Pug potty training is by using the crate training method. This is not cruel by any means because dogs are animals that naturally love to curl up into a den and rest. These dens are often a small and snug structure so that they are kept warm but not so small that they cannot stand up or turn around.

By purchasing a crate too big, you will allow them a chance to make one side their bathroom and the other side their living quarters and this will defeat the purpose of a crate. Dog's are naturally animals that love to den up into something cozy and they do not like to go to the bathroom where they want to sleep.

Make their crate a fun place to be and a place of peace so they can relax. Never use their crate for punishment, as you will find this will backfire on you in the future.

Now, whenever you cannot be right with your puppy either because you are sleeping or are leaving the house, make sure you place them into their crate. Never leave a puppy unattended just as you would never leave a human baby out to wonder around when no one is home as it is simply not safe.

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.

Controlling a puppy's eating habits not only makes sure that they do not over eat, but it also gives you a chance to monitor when they may need to go outside. Within about ten to fifteen minutes after eating and drinking, your puppy will need to go outside so make sure you give him or her that chance. Otherwise, you will find that your puppy made him or herself at home on your new carpets.
