It is advisable that you not start your Pug obedience training before your Pug has reached the age of seven months and the best way to succeed with Pug training is to win over his confidence and thus make him come to love you and admire your leadership. In fact, once you have brought your Pug home, you can start to teach him how to walk loosely on a leash and also teach him where to sit, as well to lie down when given commands such as sit and lie, and to also learn that the come command means to come to you.

Essentially, you need to out-think your Pug and to also out-guess his next actions so that you can you can prevent accidents from occurring. In fact, once you have brought your Pug home, it is time that he should be taught the more desirable forms of behavior and at the same time prevent him from developing bad habits. In any case, pugs will respond the best if you are positive with him and you use gentleness rather than force as well as ensure that Pug training is reward based, and most importantly, make his training session fun and enjoyable for him.

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.

However, it is not advisable to use force or slap or punish him while in the process of Pug training, though you should praise him when he responds in the appropriate manner.

It is also not advisable to constantly give your Pug puppy treats while he is being trained because then he will develop the habit of only performing just to get his treat which will defeat the purpose of his Pug training. Still, when he does perform what is asked off him you need to praise him so that he becomes ready to repeat the correct action over and over again?

Thus, to get best results, you should get him started off at an early age, and also be patient during the whole Pug training exercise. Pretty soon he should begin to associate proper actions with appropriate command words and by praising him and drilling the correct action, you will have succeeded in your efforts.

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.

To aid your Pug training efforts you may also consider using training equipment such as choke chain, metal-link collar, which won’t hurt your Pug, while at the same time proving effective in training him.
