I have just bought a 6-week old black Pug puppy... One thing really worries me is that, he keeps biting my fingers and clothes when I try to hold him! Is that normal? :~ EDIT: By the way, he just poo-ed on the floor! :mad: How do I train him not to do that?

Tell him off, give him a clip across the nose.

Tell him off, give him a clip across the nose. Don't be afraid to tell him off, just make sure that you do it for a reason otherwise he'll start to mistrust you.

For about the first month you need to try and let them outside every 2 hours. At night every 4 hours. This trains them to 'go' outside not inside. Keep them out until they go.
I live in appartment, so sadly going outside is not an option. The pet shop staff told me to get the blueish paper pad, and try to paper train him. So for now, I put that paper pad on the floor, but eventually I'll get a basket, and put that paper pad in.

And for me, the Rocky in Microsoft Outlook is the most cute little puppy to disturb him always. :-D

Good luck with the dog. Remember, it is a full time commitment for the years you have with the little guy especially when they are puppies, but it really pays off. My wife has forbidden us from getting a pug because she is afraid its eyes will pop out of its head.

I highly recommend you do your research on taking care of dogs or else you will regret your decision to buy a puppy.
I'm doing as much research as I can right now, I've bought a book about pugs, and registered a pugs owner forum and asking questions, and learning. But it seems to be so much work to do... :sigh:
Just keep it simple. Puppies need consistency. You need to regularly take em outside to go to the bathroom and reward them when they do. Only punish them when they are caught in the act going inside, and only if you haven't neglected to take them out regularly. Stay on a schedule. Wake up in the night and take em out again til they get older, around 6 months. They can't hold as much when they're young. But the most important is to keep it simple. When you take em out to pee or poo use a command word, like "do yer business". But stick to one phrase or word, don't mix it up. This is a very young mind, just remember how your human mind struggled with the same things. Don't expect a young puppy to understand you. So, simple and consistent and diligent.
This statement was never false.

No, you have to take them for walks outside. I'd recommend 2 hours a walk outside. Welcome to parenthood. Unless they were paper trained when being raised by the breeder, you'll have a hard time. Its not a cat. They need dirt and grass.
