5Answered all the questions  Jul 28, 2005
By Heather Spoonster
We thought that this book was great. It has really helped us since we became new pug owners. It explained about health concerns and potty training, to what kind of toys pugs like the best. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone thinking about getting a pug!

5Everything Pug Book  Feb 06, 2007
By N. Hubbell
Great book! Very practical information about what pugs need as far as bathing, skin fold wiping (beware of swamp face), and other general pug hygiene. Very practical training tips, such as belly rubbing to assure your pug that you are dominant (as well as providing a delightful belly rub) and choosing useful words for training, such as "off" instead of "no jumping," so that that your pug can be praised with the same word, for example, "Good Off," which then serves as a built-in reward (and doesn't exhaust the word "No"). Interesting and funny information on pug personalities. What's not to love about a pug?

5Pugs are Lovable  Oct 28, 2007
By BeatleBangs1964
Wonderful book replete with information about pug care, i.e. grooming, cleaning their facial folds and finger curling their doubly curled tails when they are still puppies.

You also get to read about training and breeding your pug and overall good dog care specific to this breed. You learn what words and short commands tend to work best for pugs and you and your pug can share in the rewards - limitless pug cuddles. You even get some humorous "pug tales" as well. What is not to love about a pug? Pugs are so lovable!

5Practical and entertaining  Oct 28, 2007
By LalaApollo
I've read just about everything written about pugs and this is one of the better books. The tips are helpful and if you aren't aware of it, pugs have many health issues. The result of years of breeding makes for some common ailments. A good choice for pug lovers.

4A must-have for a new pug owner  Apr 01, 2009
By R. Bennett
I adopted a pug almost a year ago, my first dog. I found myself panicking almost as soon as I brought him home like a new parent with an infant looking for the instruction manual - what does it mean when he barks like that? How do I trim his nails? How much exercise does he need? Food? Is it normal that he snores so loud? Well this *is* the instruction manual!

I read some reviews and promptly ordered this book and I'm so glad I did. It covers everything I want to know about my dog and some things I didn't even know I needed to know. My guy was 5 years old when I got him (rescue pug) and well trained so I haven't used much of the new puppy info in this book but it will definitely cover you from new puppy to senior dog. It explains so much about pug behavior, special medical needs, grooming, feeding, etc. It's the pug bible.
