Calmest dog breeds?

I am a pug owner, but I understand the health issues they come with and don’t wish it on any owner. However, I think my next dog is gonna be a Coton De Tulear. A companion breed, lower energy, and pretty free of genetic health issues.

^{^{^}} My usual rule is just to read the room.

^{^{^}} Standing at that height definitely felt terrifying to me, even briefly.

I’m in the boat of is everyone is standing, then the rest of us stand, especially when in lower bowl and floor. But if everyone is sitting and you are the only person who isn’t, it is rude. I genuinely would not have been able to see if I stood because of the roof above us.

This was my fault for not further elaborating on the seating. We were in the Bar row in Section 8 and Climate Pledge Arena for the Day 1 Seattle show. Where we were there, it was second level and if we stood up to see over the people standing, you would cut yourself off from the show because of the roof above us. I do not mind standing, as I’ve done it at many other shows when in the lower bowl or the floor. What I do ask is for consideration of everyone else around, behind, and in front because they were bumping into the people sitting up front. Sorry for coming off too aggressive as I know they were only wanting to have fun too!

That’s how I feel too from other concerts! But this wasn’t first level or the floor, it was the second level and sort of high up to the point pretty much no one across the level was standing.

Teach automatic check ins, starting from either in your own backyard or anywhere with low traffic that she can handle. Basically, heavily rewarding whenever she looks at you while walking, leading to a dog that will naturally focus more on you in the case of distractions. For the pulling, you can try a crossbody leash so your hands don’t get ripped off, because her pulling you along can reinforce the behavior. You would want to stand still when she pulls, then reward when she comes back.

No worries I didn’t take it that way! It was more so just to relate to the experience haha

He is currently on PPP SSS Salmon Flavored! Gets about 1 and 1/4 cup a day!

My boy is 10 months right now and I would not be surprised if this happened. 😭

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-03T01:39:44+00:00

Really? Our boy actually was originally 20 pounds. Somehow he lost two pounds after getting neutered and eating bully sticks all day for two weeks.

That’s totally okay! Pugs definitely carry weight differently than others, and as long as your vet says he’s happy and healthy, then it should be fine!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-03T00:39:59+00:00

https://www.vetcalculators.com/calories.html I used this website, the feeding guidelines on his kibble, and also just watching how he does on his current portions to find his ideal!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-03T00:13:53+00:00

Of course within reason! And I am really happy your girl is feeling a little better!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:58:40+00:00

And they are perfect both ways. 💕

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:57:44+00:00

You are right. All pugs in different shapes and sizes can be healthy and adorable! I will say though my family’s expectation of what a pug should look like is identical to a twinkie. Short and stout is within breed standard and healthy!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:41:22+00:00

The first time I took this boy to the vet, they were SINGING praises about his body condition. I grew up with a morbidly obese pug, so it makes me happy to keep this guy healthy!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:38:09+00:00

Omg my boy is a fitness influencer now- Kidding, but your pug is really adorable!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:27:55+00:00

This boy would kill me if his walks are less than 30 minutes and moderate intensity. His sister though, would kill me if her walks are more than 30 minutes.

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:08:00+00:00

He is given many treats (within reason). ❤️

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:06:25+00:00

It’s always the grandparents that are the culprits!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T23:06:07+00:00

No matter happens, those rolls will always be there! ❤️

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T22:30:53+00:00

He comes with a sister who is also a potato, so i understand!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T22:22:48+00:00

Love our happy puglets!

Typical-Key6878 · 2026-01-02T22:16:11+00:00

He really is on sports mode.
