Is obedience training necessary? What about crating?
No dogs are “instant pets” and they all require some work. Obedience training is a wonderful way to help a new dog adjust and will reinforce already learned commands or provide learning them for the first time. It will help the Pug accept that you are in charge and ease the building of a bond with you. All dogs do best when provided with positive reinforcement and gentle methods of training. We highly recommend that you carefully choose a trainer.
