Advice on training a pug?

I just bought a pug who is 8 weeks old, and I need advice on how to house train him. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Answers:
take him out and give him a treat after he does his stuff. don't let him fool you. if he poos but he hasn't peed yet, he isn't ready to come in. stay out until he does both. give him a treat and say "good boy". that has been woking with mine. I can't seem to get mine to stay in a kennel without crying lots? if you've had any luck let me know. my email is kayla_lynn28@hotmail.com.
yay crate training!
i would go with crate training. also check out pugs.com these girls can basically answer any question you have.
I have a pug and it is the cutest thing ever! What we did was when it went to the bathroom in the house, we would take say no, bad, and then take her outside and watch her until she went again. Then we would give her a treat and act like she did something amazing! Do this 3 to 5 times and it should work, and if it dosn't then man your dog is stubborn!
I have a 4 year old pug who took FOREVER to train. She seemed to not care. I reinforced and tried crate training. SHe was soo stubborn, Pugs are very stubborn. When she was mostly trained she would still have "accidents" any time we left her home alone. And we have 2 other dogs and a doggy door for her to use. She was just stubborn. She is good now.. THank God.. U just have to keep reinforcing ... GOOD LUCK!!!
Pugs bore easily with repetitive training practices. Make training fun for him. Especially with lots of love, treats, and positive reinforcement!!
