Pug Adoption Q&A

How to house-train a pug?

My family has had my pug Sasha for a year. She has yet to be fully house-trained. If we put her outside for an hour, she will stay out there and do nothing, then when we let her back in, she will pee or poop wherever she pleases. We have crate for her, but we only put her in it when she does something bad. My mom says that she is going to have to put Sasha up for adoption if she cannot house-train...soon. My mom loves Sasha, but she wants a clean house as well.

Help? Thank you.

I have a pug mix (with rat terrier) and she was fairly easy to train - maybe it was because she had rat terrier in her.

Crate's are not meant to be used for punishment, they should be a safe place for her. So, you are kind of doing stuff backwards.

Watch your dog 24/7, when you can't keep an eye on her put her in her crate - it is like a little bedroom for her. You can give her toys, or a kong filled with peanut butter and kibble and freeze it, but if you can't watch her, put her in the crate. They don't like to go to the bathroom in the same place they sleep, so they shouldn't want to go in their crate. First thing in the morning (I assume she'll be in the crate as no one can watch her during the night 100%) take her out of her crate and directly outside. Give her 5 minutes. If she doesn't go, back into the crate she goes. Then in 5-10 minutes, take her outside again, give her 5 minutes. If she doesn't go, repeat, repeat, repeat.

If she does go, have a tasty treat handy (some cheese, chicken etc) get ready to praise, and act really silly. Tell her 'good girl' in a high pitch voice and give her lots of pats and the treat. Go crazy (not so much that she's scared). Then she can come in the house and not go in the crate, because you know she's not going to pee anywhere. This is setting her up for positive reinforcement rather than negative.

The morning will be the easiest to do it, as you know she will have to go.

Watch your dog as she willg ive you a warning that she might have to go. They usually have to go right after a nap time, or after they were just running around and/or playing. If you think she might have to go - bring her outside. She only gets to play in the house if she's gone outside.
