Examine your dogs ear. If there is a waxy substance, clean the ear with water and cotton wool twice a day. If it doesn't clear up in 7 days, contact your Vet. If the ear smells make a vet appointment as its a infection.

your dog may have an ear infection. mine did. its very uncomfortable. you need to bring your dog to the vet and get antibiotic ear drops. if left untreated your dogs ear will always itch and smell and they will become deaf. the only way to reverse this if untreated would be an expensive surgery.

To answer your question, make your dog "sit" and then "Shake a paw". Do this about ten times and the paw they put up most often is the paw they use most often.

How do you teach a dog a hand shake?

First, teach him to sit. Gently take hold of his paw while saying, "paw," or "shake." Choose the command that works best for you. While holding the paw, give him a treat. Repeat this several times until he is comfortable letting you hold his paw for 30 seconds or more. The next step is to get him to offer his paw instead of waiting for you to pick it up. Hold out your hand as if you are about to take his paw, and give his command. If he raises his paw, go ahead and take it and give him a reward. If he raises it and puts it in your hand, give him several treats in a row and lots of praise (this is called a "jackpot"). Eventually he will learn to put his paw in your hand when you give the command. It's easy to extend shaking to doing a "high five." Start with a dog who knows how to shake. Instead of giving your shake command, use a new one. I use "high five." Hold out your hand as if to shake, but instead of holding it palm up, hold it in the 'high five' position, but at the same height as you usually put your hand to shake. Odds are good he'll make a guess and put his paw on your hand. When he does, give lots of praise and a reward. Gradually raise your hand each time you do 'high five' and he'll learn to aim higher than he does with a shake.

Not very likely, but another dog could lick the ear and get some in its mouth. Usualy when I apply ear drops I put them deep in the ear, then squish them around really well, then wipe off any excess around the ear opening.


What tricks can Pugs do?

My pug can do high five, dance, down, sit and we have taught her to do little jumps and run through a tunnel. Also we put our hand out and she will then put her paw on it and then we say other paw and give her our other hand and she puts her other paw out. I have hear you can teach them to roll over and play dead but I am not sure if my pug would be able to do that as she never rolls over and if she does end up on her back (only once or twice) she got stuck and couldn't really move ! Silly dog !
