Does your Pug bite when someone tries to pat them? This may mean 1 of 2 things: Your Pug may not be well socialized or your dog may have been previously abused and is afraid. A dog will not bite for no reason at all. If your Pug tries to nip at people, first make sure that there are no medical issues. When a dog is ill and in pain, they will bite if someone tries to touch them. Since, of course, your dog has no way of telling you that they are in pain it is recommended that your Pug have a complete medical checkup first.
If your dog is healthy, you can then begin to implement training to stop the biting behavior. Training your dog should never involve discipline that is negative or painful. That would only cause your dog to be afraid of you; not respect you or be loyal to you. If your Pug bites at visitors, you should slowly allow him or her to get used to having company. You may see friends coming in the door, your Pug may seem these people as a threat: strangers coming at you and into your home to cause harm.
If you have adopted your Pug dog and he or she is showing aggression biting, this is most likely due to past abuse. This situation calls for patience and caring throughout the course of your Pug's behavior. Time is the most important element here; all abused dogs need time to heal.
Teething is a huge biting issue and all dogs will go through this stage. They will chew on anything and everything in a desperate attempt to sooth their woes. In regard to any household items that you absolutely do not need on floor level: remove them or place them high enough so that your Pug dog cannot reach them. Be sure to cover electrical wires with plastic shielding. Allowing a your Pug dog to have an ice cube will be very helpful. Placing dog toys in the freezer for an hour or two, and then offering them will help.
