I think one way to train them out of it is to stop dead whenever they tug, and not start walking until they stop. Dogs generally like to go a little faster than humans, and they're impatient. They learn that they get to go faster when then tug, so you instead teach them that tugging makes them go slower.
I think I'd happily put up with all those things for a pug as cute as Sunny though!
So cute! Seems it's easy to put up with a lot of a pug's antics though...they know how to get us just where they want us.

Tugging on a leash can be bad for pugs.

Tugging is why I use a body harness (I should get one for me, too.) But I cannot help but love them sneezes and everything!
ReplyDeleteOMG my Fred does everything in this drawings! so funny!
ReplyDeleteBug, my pug, screams like a banshee when I trim his nails.
ReplyDeleteChunk does a lot of these things too. The one that drives us all crazy is when he sneezes on us. It's gross!
