Playful, charming, loyal and affectionate are all terms that describe the temperament of most Pug dogs. These intelligent dogs can be easily trained with positive reinforcement. They are very sensitive to the tones of human voices so harsh punishment is not recommended. Pugs even make good watchdogs since they pack a big bark for such a small dog. They make great pets that are very well behaved and even-tempered around children, other pets, and visitors.
