Читать книгу Training Your Pug - Brenda Belmonte - Страница 9

When the decision is made to add a dog to a household, very few people intentionally allow the dog to become out of control, destructive, or a bully. It is unfortunate that all too often people are poorly prepared to take the necessary steps to properly train and socialize their new canine addition. Animal shelters are full of dogs that were discarded by their owners for behavior problems and rescue groups from coast to coast have Pugs waiting to be re-homed.

While the Pug is small in size, one that is out-of-control can spell trouble and cause endless frustration. You should be willing to learn about your Pug’s behavior and be committed to making him a well-behaved canine citizen before problems arise. By dedicating the necessary time, energy, and effort to teaching your Pug what you want him to do, and preventing him from learning bad behaviors, you will find that a Pug can make a terrific companion. But in order to train your Pug you will need to learn about normal dog behaviors, understand how dogs communicate, and know how these relate to your Pug.
