Mouthing and biting are usual habits of all pugs. If not controlled by the time the pug puppy enters adolescence, not only will you have a less cooperative dog to handle, but also a larger, stronger jaw to cope with.

Mouthing can turn into a technique for pug puppies to try to control you, permitting them to take that first step in the direction of assuming a leadership role within your home.The subsequent ways are recommended for most puppies up to 4 months of age, according to their size.

In the beginning, a pug will use his mouth to investigate his environment. Throughout the teething process, it keeps the pug happy to chew on all kind of items, no matter how hard is it.

Providing suitable objects for pug dogs to focus on can at times be a simple method of solving a mouthing problem. Indestructible chew toys like large nylon bones or hard rubber Kongs can supply a positive solution for mouthing. You can also use frozen carrots or fiber bones for fulfilling chewing desires of your pups.

The instant when your pup starts chewing on you just make him understand that you are in pain no matter if she has really nipped at your skin. Just let out a yelp, by doing so she will be scared and will leave you.

One of the best way to be friendly with your pup is by giving back of your hand so that she can lick, by this way she gets familiarized with you and understands that you are the caretaker.

Reward the pup for his good habits. Pups respond eagerly and quickly to rewards that motivate. You may also choose to assign a command like "no bite" or "no mouth", so he will move his behavior with your command. This method should work with the average, eager-to-please puppy.

Does your pup start mouthing you if you don't respond when he desires to? Is he continually tripping you up, or starting to play tug-o-war with the leash when you're trying to walk him? Is he uncooperative when you direct him to do something like getting off the couch? If the answer is yes, you may have a tyrant or dominant dog . With this type of pup you have to use a little more discipline.
