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 !

What to do if your puppy stills potties in their crate during crate training?

If you were my client, first question I would ask you is in regards to the size of your crate in proportion to the size of your puppy. Unless a dog is sick or has been left in a crate for an extended period of time (more than 6 hours) most puppies will not potty where they sleep. If your puppy is in a crate that is too large for him, he will have the freedom to use the other side of the crate than he sleeps to relive himself. During puppy crate training, the crate should only be big enough for the puppy to stand up, turn around and lay back down. Some larger crates come with a divider so the crate can grow with your puppy.

Also, the puppy should be in and out of his crate during the day, teaching the puppy that the crate is a safe place. For example, when you can't have your eyes on the puppy 100% of the time (doing chores, taking shower) the puppy should be in his proper size crate and should be rewarded when he enters the crate with either affection, or small treat. This will teach him that the crate is a good place to be.

Why is it that when I am taking my dog for a walk and another dog walks by she starts barking or trying to attack but when the dog leave's she starts crying?

Most likely, your dog isn't trying to attack the other dog. they are just stating their territory and showing the other dog she was there first and trying to warn her off. i think she starts crying because all dogs like to show off to other dogs and it makes them feel good. but i wouldn't call it crying, i'd say it's the sound they make when they've just claimed victory, and they are just so excited, all they can do is "squeal with delight". =D

How to get mastiff puppy to stop being so scared or timid?

Your puppy will pee on the pad but will not defecate?

A puppy has much less control over its bladder than it does its bowels. NO dog will defecate where it eats, sleeps, or lives - including puppies - and the puppy is most likely holding it in deliberately. The puppy should be taken outdoors daily at regular times within half an hour after eating. When the dog has a bowel movement and/or empties its bladder outdoors, give it praise to ensure the puppy learns quickly that going outside is a "good" thing. Do NOT praise the dog for urinating on the pad in the home, but gradually move the pad toward the door and eventually outside. It will soon learn that it only gets praised for doing these things outside of the home.

Where is a dog supposed to go do it business?
