Crate Training For Pug Dogs

written by Judy August 23, 2017

Crate Training Pugs 

How to choose a crate for your pug?

Crate training will keep your pug protected from household perils, help with home develop, and give him/her a place to withdraw when he or she becomes overly excited. Picking the right box sizing is very important. If it’s too big, your pug will create a space to urinate and excrete; if it’s too small, he won’t be able to get comfy in it. Your pug is little, so he/she won’t need a huge crate. An ideal container size is 24 inches long x 18 inches wide x 21 inches high.

Food is a great way to lure your pug into the box.

Crate training your pug

If he’s hesitant to enter the box, place some bits of meat near the crate initially, then gradually set the food further inside the crate. Do the same with his/her meat bowl when he’s ready for feeding banquets in the crate. Leave the container door open at all times during this part of crate education. This will allow your pug to explore the box at his/her leisure, without the fear of you closing the door behind him. If he/she complains, delayed until he/she quiets down before opening the door. It may take several repetitions before your pug discovers the verbal command to enter his/her crate. Reward him/her with a treat every time he/she responds to it correctly. Practice leaving the house when you crate him. Do not get your pug worked up when you leave home or return; this could build up a lot of nervousness and anticipation in your pug. Don’t forget to take your pug outside to potty during crating lessons. This is especially important for pug puppies since they can’t comprise their bladders for long periods ( month of age+ – 1 hour ).

 

When your pug whines, a decision has to be made.

Often times when your pug starts to whine, a decision has to be made whether to respond to it, especially with overnight crating. It’s not a good idea to ignore these communications especially if he or she needs to go potty, but you also don’t want to teach him that whining gets positive attention from you. If he or she does not stop after a few minutes, at that point, it would be a good idea to let him/her outside, however, be mindful not to play or talk with him/her—let him or her do their thing and that’s it.
There are occasions when you pug will just whine to get your attention but, he or she will stop whining after he/she realizes it’s not working.  As long as you remain focused and disciplined about not responding, know it will get worse before it gets better. In a short period of time, you will realize your training objective. Crate training completed! Viola!
