To pugs mouthing is just a way of expression - by taking your hand in his mouth to get your attention, but in a far gentler way than a bite. And it is essential to keep under control this mouthing practice of your pug puppy at an early age.

Usually pug puppies mouth our hands during excitement or when playing and puppies usually do this more to kids than adults. And it is up to you to discourage this behavior of your pup.The subsequent techniques are suggested for most puppies up to four months of age, depending upon their size.

In the beginning, a pug will use his mouth to explore his surroundings. Throughout the teething process, it gives the pug relief to chew on all manner of things, no matter how hard is it.

Give your pug dogs some chew toys with different textures to help fulfill their chewing requirements properly with puppy training. It is recommended to use larger rawhide items and natural bones for your pups to meet with their chewing needs.

If your puppy is chewing on you, the instant the pressure raises use your "hurt puppy' sound leaving your hand in his mouth. Once the pressure is loose, gradually remove your hand.

You might wish to offer the back of your hand for your puppy to lick. By doing this, not only are you teaching him that our skin is tender, but also that you expect a sign of deference (licking your hand) for their action.

Praise him in a calm manner if his response is immediate and offer him a suitable chew toy. Do not give a toy when your hand is still in his mouth, or you will be rewarding the wrong habit. Another technique which can be applied is to train your dog to understand your commands and gestures.

If your puppy dont hear what you say, or is getting more and more nasty with people as well as you, its serious then. And he will go on doing the same until you teach him not to.
