For any pug owner, there this nothing better than having a wonderful companion. Have you ever wondered the best way to express your relationship with your best friend? I found this cute and quick survey on American Kennel Club (AKC) website that dog owners can complete. At the end of the article, take the quiz.
The concept of Love Language has been around for many years. Additionally, there are great books and website articles on this topic. Love language focuses on how love is given and received.

According to Gary Chapman, love is expressed and received in the following: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. All of these not only work for humans but dogs as well.
For Words of affirmation, statements like “who’s a good boy,” “great job,” and “pretty girl” are great for your four-legged companion. Ashe and Meatball love to be told they are good boys.
Quality time could be walking, taking on a trip to the store, or a special one-one time. Kora loved our outdoor trips to the park and Monto Sano Mountain. There we walked and she would play in the rivers.
Receiving gifts could be a new toy or treat. The first time I took Ember to Petco and pick her toys, she came home and had to show off every new toy to my husband. Additionally, Ember to this day loves her new toys from Bark Box. I highly recommend everyone to subscribe to Bark Box. It’s the best thing I have found for toys and treats. For only $23 a month you receive a themed box full of two toys and three bagged treats. For more information and subscribe, click the link below.

Acts of service could be grooming/brushing their coat. My pugs love bath time not only for the treats but also for petting/massage. Chunky would let me give him a bath every day just for the petting and massage.
The final love language is physical touch and I think all our fur babies love pets and belly rubs. Lyla, our new puppy started very early with belly rubs. She started around 3-4 weeks just when she was walking on all fours is when the demand of the belly rubs. Miesha demands belly rubs to the point she will not come inside until she gets a belly rub.
Knowing your pug’s love language can help with training. Knowing if your fur baby prefers new toys to belly rubs helps with training. I really hope you enjoy this cute quiz as much as I did in understanding your pug.
