What It’s Really Like To Live With A Pug

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 2,333

You want a pug. You've wanted one for years. You hopefully have done some research and think this is the breed for you.

Here's what it's really like to live with a pug, illustrated by the one and only Gemma Gené who draws about her pug Mochi. It's hilarious and adorable, yet it captures the essence.

Check it out below! …and if you already live with a pug (or pugs), see if you can relate! LOL

#1: They want to be with you. ALL THE TIME.

Have you ever heard parents with kids say that they never get to go to the bathroom by themselves anymore? Well, it's pretty much the same thing with a pug!

They tend to be pretty attached, and will follow you around the house everywhere you go. They will be at your feet when you're at your standing desk, curled up in your lap when you're on the couch, and sitting a foot behind you when you're at your computer desk!

If you want a dog that stays off the furniture or sleeps on the floor rather than your bed, you may have a bit of a challenge with a pug. And you may have to deal with a good amount of separation anxiety.

If you're cool with a dog that thinks he's attached to you with velcro… then a pug is a good breed for you!

    How old?
    Start with the puppy pads.
    Every time they go to wee/start sniffing to poo pick them up and put them on the pad.
    Then lots of praise.
    Poo/ wee not on the pad- bring them to it and say loudly “who did this?” Etc.
    They soon figure out pads, then just move the pads closer and closer to the back door.

    She’s 11 weeks. We’ve just had her for 2 weeks. Perhaps I’m expecting too much. I have yet to have her potty in my office because she’s confined to her carrier or my lap or I’m playing with her. It’s only in the house she seems to prefer, but it’s possible it’s more to do with my wife’s lack of patience.

    I’ve been avoiding the pad just because I don’t want my cats to start trying to go in the house again since they go outside and in their litter boxes in the garage.

    A dog crate? I’m not sure what else you call it. It’s like a portable kennel. To crate train you keep them in the crate when you’re not interacting with them or its bed time. Then they are supposed to learn when you take them outside it’s potty time because they don’t want to potty in their crate. Just a house training method. Works for a lot of breeds. Not sure for pugs, but it could be unsuccessful currently because it’s impossible to be consistent because my wife doesn’t follow the schedule.
