hi, my pug, rusty, used to be hyper active too when he was little. i almost gave him away . but now, he's an angel... like your BIL's pug, he used to bite our legs n hands. wat u can do is stop him with a clear command "no" then ignore him (as punishment). in rusty's case, he normally nip on the toes when he's excited n wants to play. so, i'll say "no" then just stand right there until he's quiet down. sometimes, they do so to get attention from you. so the best is to show them it's not right by not giving them the attention they want. for eg., after the "no" just ignore him until he's quiet down. when he's quiet down, praise him. if he gets excited again, repeat the above. very soon(hopefully), they should learn wat to n wat not to do. if he bites when in ur arms, tell him "no" then put him down. the key to this is patience. u need to have a lot of patience. they may not get it the 1st day, week or even months... as for the furniture biting, it could be due to the teething. u shud try your best to remove anything that you do not wish him to bite. of cos you can't possibly remove everything. for those furniture, maybe u can try those bitter spray thingy. so find it effective, some not. good luck and have a lot of patience. if you are consistent and patient, you'll definitely find your effort worthwhile. pugs are really adorable. where's your BIL? we at the do have gatherings from time to time. maybe you can invite your BIL to join us. u too r welcome to join us. then we can discuss abt it and i'm sure ur BIL will be glad to have a pug. cheers, hn & rusty
