Posted on November 7, 2008 @ 5:48 am

There is no doubt the fact that Pug obedience training is not difficult to do provided you know just how a Pug’s mind works. Thus ‘pre-programming’ the mind of your Pug is essential to achieving desired results with any Pug training exercise. The fact is that Pugs like to please their masters, though at the same time their stubbornness can prove to be a hindrance to proper training and so being kind to them while training them will certainly prove to be more effective than punishing him or being harsh.

In addition, if you are not patient when imparting Pug training the chances of success will diminish because the right way of giving Pug obedience training is to be patient which will also help your Pug associate different words of commands with their associated actions. What’s more, while training your Pug you need to make good use of a training leash as well as your hands and to also use a reassuring voice when giving commands. And, when your Pug learns the commands, you need to reinforce the good habits by repeatedly drilling the same commands into his mind so that he always responds positively to them.

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.

However, Pug training is not a bed of roses and in particular when you are involved in Pug obedience training you will find that in the beginning it will be hard for both the Pug and you to understand each other and so, to get best results, you should not let a single training session last for more five minutes at a given time.

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.
