leave my house. Almost every time. She was great at first so I know she is capable of holding it. I take her out very often and always right before I leave. I have had her for a lil over a week. She was so sweet and innocent. Now what?
How old is she? If she's a puppy then there's a good chance she just can't hold it for very long.
If she's older then it sounds like she has separation anxiety. Practice making her stay in the living room while you leave and immediately come back and give her a treat. Gradually up the amount of time you are out of the room.. eventually she'll realize that when you leave you're not gone forever.
Also, try leaving something to occupy her when you leave. Like a kong (dog toy you stuff with treats) that is stuffed with her favorite treats like chicken, cheese or peanut butter. That'll help keep her mind off the fact that you're gone.
It could be seperation anxiety which can be easily cured with leaving the house momentarialy and returning with treats, If she is a pup she probably can't hold it for long, don't worry when she pottys just clean it up and show her you are taking outside where she is supposed to potty. On top of that if you can catch her pottying in the house don't scold or hit her just pick her up and lead her to where she is allowed to go. If it does not work at first just have patience, she will eventually get the message.
P.S. This trick works with older dogs too
the dog is not settled yet. there is no routine establish. you have to be patient. establish a routine for her. dogs are creatures of habit. maybe it was like that before you got her. how old is your dog? do not freak out yet. its still early. pugs are very sweet and smart dogs. they are easy to train. base on my experience. just like bullies, they can be stubborn too. relax. take time and set up a routine. a consistent routine.
please dont be one of those owners who got the dog bec they are cute. its a responsibility. once you trained them, youll have more fun with your pug.
All I can say is my daughter has 2 pugs and both still pee in the house.They say they are hard to train,I don't know but I would crate her till she learns to hold it till you get home.Not 8 hrs though if you work and if you do see if someone can come over to let her out.The fact that she would have to hold it a long time only leads to UTI and kidney problems
just stay with it! :D
you need to keep with taking her out constantly and need to punish here when she goes inside. just keep trying, it will take time, but it will work out.
a tip: make sure you clean up her "uh ohs" really well. if the smell remains she will go there again. no smell, lessens the chance.
Most pugs not all including my 2 yr old still has accidents. I talked to many pug owners and all seem to be saying the same they can't get them fully housetrained. I talked to my vet and the solution was a simple one. PeePee pads saves the carpet when we are not home and she was easy to train to them and doesn't use one when we are home. Do some research on pugs/and behaviors. Pugs were bred to be spoiled pampered never trained dogs of royal families and had their own cooks/rooms/a person to clean up ever mess they made. I don't think it has or ever will be bred out of them. Don't scold her it will only make it worse and she will start going in places to hide it from you like behind the couch under your bed anywhere to hide the fact it is happening.
also rule out any type of infection first then find a solution that works for you.
Good luck
