I just recently adopted a 2 year old pug named Jack which is a dream come true for me to own a pug, but he's driving me up the wall. He is peeing on everything and won't lay still. I can't just follow him around to make sure he doesn't pee and the only time he lays still is when we are sleeping. But everytime he runs around I live in constant fear that he is going to pee on something else. I love him to death, but at this point I'm saying it's either my house or him. We have a 5 year old lab who is just wonderful. Although now, she is running around with him and constantly biting him on the chest and neck(not hard, but nibbling), but she won't relax now and she was always such a calm dog. He also will not stay out of her crotch. His face is constantly buried in her. We are getting him fixed around the 1st, but I need to know if there is something I can do to calm down my household. The peeing, humping and all together chaos that is going on!

Have you ever watched the show the Dog Whisperer? I would recomend the website. Sounds like he needs a lot of exercise (outside walks) and discipline that you follow through with each time. Neutering him will help a bit but he needs 30-40 min. of exercise a day. Then when he is tired it is best to train him.. he will relax and be submissive (you want a submissive dog). Try the website - good luck!

is he fixed is your lab fixed? if not that could solve your problem. He is marking his territory so everything smells like him. To tire him out, take him on a good 45 min to hour walk. You will tell if he is getting tired. Make sure you bring water and poop bags. Does he drink a lot of water? My friend put the water up after a certain time at night so her pug would not have accidents in his crate. The humping thing... Fix him. or Or he is just a very active man.

as far as the peeing, our vet recomends getting a small crate, one not bigger than your dog- just big enough for him to lie down, and stand up in, but not run in. and crate him every time you won't be able to watch him carefully, and also make him sleep in it until he is trained. also let him outside on a set schedule, and frequently. dogs will not (unless it's an emergency) use the bathroom where he sleeps. it may take a while for both of you to get used to, he may cry and whine. but it worked wonders for my puggle (pug/beagle cross). good luck!

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Learn more http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?hW9u
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Crate training will help with the peeing. Make sure you let him out plenty to go potty, and reward him when he goes outside. Good luck!

Short simple answer. This dog and you need obedience training. Obedience training is mainly for the dog owner. It teaches you about dog behavior and how to teach good behavior to your dog.
