We can think about all the fun things that you are going to be able to do with your new puppy but what you really need to be focusing on is that Pug potty training is something that is extremely important and it does need to be taken care of right away. If not, you could end up with a lot of mess on your carpets and if the problem is allowed to carry on for too long, you will be looking at dishing out some big bucks to completely replace your carpets.
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.
When you are sleeping, when you are not home or when you are home but simply cannot pay absolute attention to the puppy, you need to place him or her in their crate. When training your puppy it is important to keep an eye on him or her at all times so when you cannot do that, it is best that you place them in their crate, or den, for a small period of time.
There are a lot of places to purchase dog crates from, but by heading straight to your local pet supply store you are most likely to find exactly what you are looking for there.
Once you open the door to the crate make sure that you are not just letting your puppy run around the house. When going through Pug potty training, it is important to make sure that they are immediately taken outside to their potty location in order to relieve themselves.
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.
Also, you will want to make sure that food and water is only available to your puppy during meal times. This part of Pug potty training will make sure that they do not consistently have the need or the desire to go potty. Food and water that is taken in by a puppy only remains in their system for about ten minutes or so, depending on the size of the dog. If food is left out all day to snack on, that is going to mean an awful lot of accidents on your pretty carpets.
