To pugs mouthing is just a way of communicating - by taking your hand in his mouth for getting your attention, but in a far gentler way than a bite. And it is essential to control this mouthing habit of your pug puppy at an early age.

Often pug puppies mouth our hands during excitement or when playing and puppies more often do this more to children than adults. And you have to discourage this behavior of your pup.The following ways are suggested for most puppies up to 4 months of age, depending upon their size.

Just like infants, a pug goes across the teething process. It is a common habit of puppies of all breeds to use their mouth to investigate the environment.

Providing suitable objects for pug dogs to focus on can at times be a simple way of solving a mouthing problem. Indestructible chew toys like large nylon bones or hard rubber Kongs can provide a positive outlet for mouthing. You can also use frozen carrots or fiber bones for fulfilling chewing desires of your pups.

The moment when your puppy starts chewing on you just make him realize that you are in pain no matter if she has actually nipped at your skin. Just let out a scream, by doing so she will be frightened and will leave you.

You might wish to offer the back of your hand for your pup to lick. By doing this, not only are you instructing him that our skin is tender, but also that you expect a sign of deference (licking your hand) for their action.

Praise him in a calm manner if his response is immediate and provide him a suitable chew toy. Do not offer a toy when your hand is still in his mouth, or you will be rewarding the wrong behavior. You can also train him to act on your commands.

Does your pup begin mouthing you if you don't play when he wants to? Is he continually tripping you up, or starting to play tug-o-war with the leash when you're trying to walk him? Is he uncooperative when you direct him to do something like not to jump or bite? If the answer is yes, you may have a bossy or dominant pup. With this kind of pup you may need to use a little more discipline.
