Doggy Mentor

One infamous Puggle trait that can easily take the fun out of Puggle ownership is a dog given to snatching things from somewhere in the house and nibbling on them. In this puggle training article, lets go over how most Puggle owners get their dogs to overcome this unwanted behavior.

What you can do as Puggle owner is to initially keep the offending on a leash inside the home so as to help it stop its stealing. When the dog tries to go for off-limits objects, forbid it with a firm “No!”, while giving it the proper toy to use. Its chewing on furniture can be discouraged by applying bitter apple spray on surfaces, or tabasco sauce. Since you will also be out of the house for quite some time in a day, why not also invest time and effort in crate training? Sooner or later, the dog will need it anyway, and the rest of Puggle training.

Many Puggle owners good-naturedly say that the breed seem to hold as a distinct trademark the vices of snatching things to grab attention, and toy-eating. Squeaky toys are good distractions for them. But there are some Puggles obedient enough to just simply let go at a command whatever it was they were stealing; in other words, they also “know” guilt! Yet another treat you can use to get to the better side of the dog is to give it ice cubes, which the dog seem to hold as valuable treats.

To end, if there is a time in the puppy’s life that it will chew the most, it would be when it is teething at four to twelve months. Keep plenty of safe toys all over the house, and all over means literally all over. You may have to put up with bumping simultaneously into two or three things at any time, but the dog chewing on a toy is vastly more preferable to having it, say, make an attempt on your clothes or documents. Have fun with your Puggle training
