Your Pug scratching at the door is likely their way of trying to communicate with you. They might be asking to go outside, wanting to come into the room you’re in, or simply craving your attention. Pugs are social dogs and love being around their people, so they might scratch because they don’t like being separated from you.
Sometimes, it’s just a habit they’ve picked up to get what they want. If it becomes excessive, you can try redirecting their behavior with positive reinforcement, like teaching them to sit or stay instead of scratching. Just make sure their needs—like bathroom breaks or enough attention—are being met first!
