Once Massachusetts Pug puppies have mastered some training, you can start to teach them some basic puppy tricks. The most common trick is the catching trick. This involves you teaching your Pug puppy to follow simple commands from you. You will want to keep the puppy in a sit-stay position and then toss a plush toy in your Pugs direction. You do not want to throw the toy upwards into the air just in his general direction. Your Pug puppy should aim to catch the toy in his mouth. Once this trick has been established, you can move on to a more difficult trick.

The more advanced trick is the finding trick. For this one you will want to keep your Pug puppy in the sit-stay position again and show him the plush toy. You will want to then show him that you are hiding the toy under a chair or pillow and then say to your Massachusetts Pug puppy "Where is the toy??" "Go find it!" Your puppy should start to become attentive and then search for the toy in the spot that you hid the toy. If he does not search for it, you should help him by pointing and moving things away to get to the hidden toy. After a few tries your Pug puppy should catch on.

This next trick is one that everyone in Massachusetts will notice but will be fairly easy for your Pug puppy to perform. This is the roll over trick. Pug breeders can attest that Pug puppies love to roll around and wiggle by nature, so by giving one simple command like "roll over" and then moving your Pug puppy to that position, your puppy will begin to understand that "roll over" means that he should get into the position you have desired for him. You always want to give great praise when your Pug performs the trick correctly. This will insure that you will get the correct response in the future.
