House-training House training can be a challenge. What it takes more than anything is patience and persistance. I didn't think I would survive. We used puppy pads, a regular feeding schedule, and regular trips outside with treat rewards. Again, patience is the key.
Pugs are small dogs thus have small bladders.
Thankfully, I think we've finally gotten our youngest, Lovey, trained. She is petite still but manages to hold herself during the 8-9 hour days while we are gone. I'm finding this to be a difficult problem. According to my vet, eating feces is a very common puppy habit. Along with just being gross, it makes puppy breath smell really bad.
