The number one tip to training your Pug to stay in place on one area in your yard is working on positive reinforcement and repetition. Getting him used to the area and using simple commands like “Sit” and “Stay” is one of the first steps you can take and using treats to get him to stay there for prolonged periods of time.

Here are a few dog training tips to help you train your dog to stay in your yard.

Decide Upon a Boundary
Decide upon the boundary line around your yard. Walk the perimeter and mark it with flags.

Teach Commands
This is one of the most important dog training tips for any type of training. Work on teaching your dog commands like”No,” “Stop,””Wait,” “Sit.” These will help you as teach him to stay in your yard.

Walk the Boundary With a Leash
Spend time walking your dog — with a leash — around the marked boundary. Do this at least four or five times every day for several days.

After a few more days, you can walk to the boundary with your dog and step over the boundary yourself. Command your dog to stay as you step over.

Walk the Boundary Without a Leash
After a couple of weeks of obeying commands and staying within the boundary, you can allow the leash to trail behind as your dog walks along the boundary. Your dog should be able to follow the commands of “Stop” or “Wait.”

Reinforce the Boundary
Walk the boundary regularly and never allow any breaking of the rule. Even a small step over the boundary requires going back and working on the lessons again.

Spending time reinforcing boundaries and teaching commands can help you teach your dog to stay in your yard.

Don't get frustrated with your pooch if he doesn't get it right away. As mentioned, each training step takes many days for him to get in the habit of staying. After he's leash free and is in the same spot over time he should learn that this is his spot where he should stay.
