New pug housebreaking stories reveal all the insider secrets you could ever

Our house has been turned upside down by our bundle of fun, our new pug puppy arrival, we are crazy about her.She is called Sapphire and is 11 weeks young.The trouble we are having with her is the dreaded housebreaking.

It is not unusual for pugs to have days that they do real good and then its like she is mad at us for something and that is how she is getting back at us. She hates spending any amount of time by herself and gets quite upset when we go to work

Our pug likes to be a bit of a diva and whimpers to beat the band when she sees my husband putting on his coat and hat and heading for the door.If she wants 100% attention she sprints across to her doggy pad as fast as her little legs will carry her, it is hysterical to watch

We are doing everything we are suppose to do to help in this process.For some weird reason she wont even approach her puppy pad or the door depending on what mood she is in.We can take her outside to do her duty and maybe she will then come back in the house and hide to do it again

Our local veterinarian told us that pug dogs can have issues with worms and we hoped he would be able to unravel the mystery.We do give her the odd little snack or treat, call it what you will but it really lights up her face and it is so worth seeing her smile

I thought I came across an article recently that claimed that puppies are notorious for forgetting everything they have learned. She loves going out side and we constantly bring her out after she has drunk a bucket load of water.

The longest stretch she goes is at bedtime of the night that is usually 6 -10 hrs,A few weeks ago I left the door open so she could go to the toilet on her pug dog pad but that was a failure.She wasn't using the pad she was using everything else including my husbands sock -- he was not happy

Our little monkey is never screamed at or shouted out all we do is say no and bring her out. Can you help us.Should we just choose between the pad and outside or will that frustrate her even more.I cant imagine what we have done wrong so that she is so confused.Please give us some input.What can we do to set her on the straight and narrow so that she is properly housetrained.
