I am the worse trainer know to mankind. I could not get a yorkie to do a darn thing. They are so strong willed and think they are big dogs! It's not easy to train any dog. There are good trainers out there and there is a video you can get, but you really have to have the patienced and be
constistant.

It takes patience and consistency.  They have to believe you are pack leader, so you have to act the part.  You can't be inconsistent or blow up impatiently.

Are you trying to Housebreak her, or teach her tricks...?
If you are talking about housebreaking her then...
Spanking ..(hitting) your dog is not the best way to teach....As I grew up, our family had many dogs...I watched and unfortunately learned that you spank your dog when he does something wrong, and you rub their nose into whatever mess they make on the floor...Oh,my...I think of how I continued this horrible training with my own dogs. I never thought that there was anything wrong with it, I just know that is how I was taught.
I have since learned, that Praise is the way to teach...!  Do not hit your dog if she has done something wrong..instead, redirect her to do the right thing, and praise her when she does what you want.  Praising or rewarding you dog when she does something good, is the way to go !!!
You will get quicker results, and a happier puppy.
If you are trying to housebreak or pee pad train your puppy, it will help you to know that there are 3 times, when you should bring your pup outside, or to the pee pad...Puppies always pee..after they wake up...after they play..and after they eat.  And, many times, puppies will pee twice each time. (After they pee the first time, be prepared, they may pee again in 5 or 10 minutes )  When the puppy pees where you want her to....give her lots of hugs and praise, or a reward..do this immediately after she pees. She will learn to potty where you want her to in no time....!
If your pug is an older dog...you can still train her in the same manner...lots of praise or a reward Immediately after she has done what you want her to do.
Best wishes to you and your dog.
