Problem: Article: If you cannot stay with your pug all day and take him outside frequently, gate off an area in your home for him to stay during the day. Place some pee pads in the corner of this space where he can eliminate. In addition to the pee pads, put some puzzle toys and other toys in the area to keep him busy.  An alternative to a pee pad is a doggie litter box, which has artificial grass. When your pug urinates, the urine would go through the grass into the underlying tray. These are available at your local pet store. Place his water bowl and bed in the gated area. Without knowing when he should eliminate, your pug may have accidents in your home more often. A consistent bathroom routine is very important for puppies, since they cannot hold their bladders for very long. If you have a pug puppy, take him out first thing in the morning, 15 to 20 minutes after eating, after naps, and before bedtime.  Give your pug puppy his final meal around 7pm and take his water away by 10 or 11pm if he's a young puppy. As he gets a little older and has better bladder control, you can start leaving his water in the crate overnight.  If you have an adult pug, he won’t need to go out as frequently as a puppy, but should still go out about 3 times a day.  The indoor gated area lessens the need for frequent outings during the day. However, it may take longer to house train your pug if he gets used to eliminating on pee pads or in the litter box. Your pug should learn to eliminate in the same area each time you take him outside. If you have a backyard, take him out on a 6-foot (2-meter) leash, stand in one area of your yard, and let him pick a specific spot within a 6-foot radius of the leash. He will leave his scent in that spot and go back there each time. Your pug’s body language will let you know when he needs to eliminate, allowing you to get him outside before he has an accident in the house. Examples of this body language are sniffing around, looking for a private place, going to the door, and whining.  When you see this body language, immediately put your pug’s leash on him and take him outside. Give him a treat and verbal praise when he eliminates so he makes a positive association with eliminating outside. Consider giving your pug a command, such as ‘go potty,’ when you take him out. When you reward him for eliminating, he will also be learning how to respond to your command. It can take time—up to 20 minutes—for your pug to relax enough to eliminate outside. If you become impatient, you may experience what many other dog owners have experienced: elimination as soon as the dog gets back inside. Twenty minutes can feel like an eternity, so bring something with you (e.g., book, magazine, phone) to keep you busy as your wait for your pug to eliminate. Don’t forget to reward him as soon as he eliminates. If you pug has an accident (and he probably will) clean it up promptly with an enzymatic cleaner that will erase the urine smell. If your pug smells the urine, he will likely go back to that spot to eliminate. Do not punish your pug, whether you catch him in the act or not. Doing so will make him fear you, rather than teach him not to have another accident.
Summary: Create a small gated area in your home. Establish a bathroom routine. Allow your pug to pick an outdoor elimination spot. Monitor your pug’s ‘bathroom’ behavior. Be patient when you take your pug outside. Clean up accidents without punishing your pug.

Problem: Article: Keep the temperature set to moderate-low, and add the diced onion to the same pan as the garlic and butter. Stir the ingredients regularly as they cook and as the onions become soft and semi-transparent. Use a wooden spoon to stir the onion and minced garlic. Reduce the heat of the stovetop down to the low setting. Stir the mixture continuously as it starts to simmer. Check the consistency of the gravy regularly, as the longer it simmers for the thicker it will become. The mixture will now be thickening due to the addition of cornstarch.
Summary:
Add the diced onion to the pan and cook it for a further 5 minutes. Simmer the ingredients for approximately 10 minutes.
