The Basics Of Pug Pup CareThis is a featured page

If you are looking for a dog that will keep you company and wants to be with you all the time then the Pug is a great dog. It is bred specifically because it is such a great companion dog. The Pug puppy is energetic and this energy will last a good two or three years depending on your Pug puppy. If this sounds appealing to you then the Pug is the right dog for you. There are however some downsides to having a Pug.

Pug puppy care is quite extensive and you will need to make sure your Pug puppy gets taken care of properly to ensure a happy and healthy life for your Pug. If you don’t want a high maintenance dog then the Pug is not for you. Besides regular grooming and cleaning the Pug also could potentially have some serious health problems. If you are not prepared for this type of care then you should probably not get a Pug.
Housebreaking Pug puppies can be difficult. Your Pug puppy is intelligent but it might not always be cooperative as Pug puppies have a mind of their own. This means that you will have to be patient but firm throughout the process. The best method to use is the crate method, whereby your Pug is confined to a crate when you are not around to supervise your Pug. This is proven to be the most effective and used by successful dog trainers.

Pug-proof your house before bringing home your Pug puppy. This means wrapping any wires in heavy tape and putting plastic guards on electrical sockets. Anything fragile or that you don’t want your Pug to chew should be kept out of reach of your puppy. Remember that Pugs are curious and will investigate anything and everything so keep things like chemicals and yarn away from your dog to avoid accidents from happening.
YourPug pup is best kept as a wonderful companion. Don’t even dream about making big money from breeding these little dogs. Being a responsible breeder takes plenty of time, money and effort. You will most likely never make back the money you invest as Pugs run up high vet bills and produce small litters. Get your own Pug puppy from a responsible breeder and not a pet shop.

This is the first step in getting the best Pug puppy there is and also minimizing having a sick dog on your hands in later years. Do a little research on how to pick a puppy before buying one. Pug puppies have their personalities quite early so you will have an idea of what type of dog your puppy will be. Do keep in mind that’s Pugs are high maintenance but the disadvantages are offset by their lovable natures and intense loyalty to their owners. A Pug always wants to be with you, as it thrives on human affection and interaction.

Pug puppies are wonderful dogs and despite the effort that goes into taking care of them you will love your Pug puppies. The basics ofPug puppy care can be found in this article.
