Toilet training your pup will likely be met with mixed success. Using puppy training pads (cheapest online or at pound stores) & a hard surface to put them on should result in the pup repeatedly going to the same area & thus 'learning' where to go.

Ideally however, & your pup should pick this up fairly quickly, is for them to go outside. If you have a grassy area especially you may find the pups drawn to mess there. Their inherent behaviour is to try & 'bury' their mess by kicking soil/dirt onto it with their hind legs. Pugs however also seem to think this is possible on a laminate/tiled floor! You wouldn't allow them outside until after the 2nd puppy vaccination so until then will require the use of pads. Thankfully as pugs are a toy breed they don't make a particularly large amount of mess in comparison to other breeds.
We train the pups as much as we can in 8 weeks but obviously your home will provide a new environment for them to adjust to so expect some varying levels of success with toilet training.
