Training Pads: Little to explain here. Absorbable pads will make cleanup easier with puppies in training, and if you have a litter box of sorts.
Treat Bag: If you are going out for potty or to the park, chances are you want to take some treats. Your pocket is probably not a good option, and at some point you will get tired of plastic bags.
Clicker: Positive re-enforcement is another big part of Pug training. If you want to enhance the tone of your voice with a more distinct and consistent audio que, a clicker is a simple method.
Training Harness:Training harnesses work differently than the regular ones. The don’t just give you a good grip on the dog without chocking, they are connected at the chest so that when the dog pulls, he will loose balance. Good, if you have a real ‘puller’.
E-collar: Most Pug owners will dismiss the idea of training collars (and for good reasons). However, this collar is different in that it has very fine tuning and also has a ‘Vibrate Only’ mode. The idea is to give a non-auditable que to your dog, and not a form of shock or punishment. It also has nice features like light and more.
Potty Doorbells:There are a few variations on this, but other than making you feel like you dog’s butler, I think it’s a great idea. Same as any training, you need to establish a direct link between the bell and potty time, and eventually she will let you know herself.
