Do you use a collar and lead for walking your pug? This may not be ideal and you may want to consider using a soft harness. These harnesses are ideal as they do not put any strain around your pugs neck and they distribute the weight of your dog around the chest and shoulders which in turn will reduce any choking or injury.

When pugs pull on a collar it can damage their trachea (throat) and it also puts pressure on the pugs eyes. If someone decided to chokes you, you’re going to feel the pressure build behind your eyes and as Pugs have very shallow eye sockets this pressure is very dangerous for them which could result in their eyes even popping out in extreme cases. They are also prone to trachea. collapse.

We all know that Pugs can be headstrong little dogs and they love to pull and tug on their leashes, switching to a soft harness gives extra suppor and unlike a collar, allows pugs to breath even when pulling.
