The Secret to a Happy Life with a Pom in Six Easy Steps

Table of Contents

Introduction

Pomeranians are the perfect dog breed for anyone who wants a companion but doesn’t have enough time to commit to training. They’re small, cute, and friendly—and they don’t require much exercise or grooming! But despite their small stature and cheerful demeanor, Pomeranians still need plenty of love and attention if they’re going to be happy dogs. Here are six easy tips for living with your new Pom:

Pomeranians think they’re giant dogs, so they can be even more stubborn than regular sized ones.

Pomeranians are a toy breed, which means they are very small. This can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, you will have an adorable companion that can fit into your purse and won’t take up too much space in your apartment. However, due to their size they may seem like giant dogs in the eyes of other animals (and people). For example, if you walk down the street with your pom he may not realize that his size doesn’t matter and will try to get into fights with other dogs who look bigger than him/herself.

This also means that training can be difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing! Poms are intelligent dogs but it is important to remain patient when training them because they will learn quickly if taught properly from day one!

Pomeranians are a great dog to train, because they love to please their people. It is important to only use positive motivation when training your Pom.

Training your Pomeranian is a fun and rewarding process. They are bright, intelligent dogs who love to please their owners. The trick is to train them using positive motivation so that they don’t become frustrated and ignore the commands you give them.

Poms can be trained to sit, stay, lie down and walk on a leash without pulling. They will also happily fetch balls or toys when asked by their owners. This makes the Pom an ideal companion dog for the whole family!

When training your Pomeranian, it’s important to begin with simple commands and short training sessions that are easy for your puppy to succeed in.

It is also important not to expect too much of your puppy at the outset. Even if you have a lot of time on your hands, don’t try teaching too many new things at once or expecting your pup to obey every time. If he doesn’t listen the first time, then keep practicing until he does!

All puppies, including Pomeranians, need plenty of socialization early on so that they can learn to get along with other people and pets.

When you’re looking for a puppy, make sure that the breeder is willing to let you visit the puppies and their mother several times. This will give you an opportunity to observe how they interact with each other and what kind of personalities they have. Some breeders will even allow you to take your new dog home for a few days so that he can get used to his new environment before going back with his mommy and siblings.

If it’s possible for your family schedule, consider taking a puppy class when the dog reaches about 6 months old (around the same time as spaying or neutering). Classes are great because they help build a relationship between humans and animal companions, teach valuable socialization skills like general obedience commands such as “sit” or “stay,” provide guidance on training techniques like positive reinforcement versus negative punishment (e.g., using treats), provide information about appropriate toys and activities for dogs/puppies at various stages of development—and most importantly—they’re lots of fun!

Like any other small dog, it’s crucial that you take precautions to prevent your Pom from becoming injured by falling off furniture or getting stepped on.

Don’t let your pom clamber up onto chairs or the sofa until you’re sure he’s safe at the top. Don’t be surprised if your pom decides to leap up there anyway; this is what they do!
It goes without saying that you should not allow him to roam around the house unsupervised if there are stairs in the vicinity.
Be very careful about letting them play with toys that could hurt them (e.g., tennis balls). And yes, even though this seems obvious, I’ve seen it happen time and time again: don’t give a pomeranian any toy smaller than their head (because they will swallow it).

Like with any dog breed, the key to having a happy life with your new Pomeranian is providing them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

Like with any dog breed, the key to having a happy life with your new Pomeranian is providing them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. It’s important to give your pup enough exercise on a daily basis, but also make sure that he has some fun activities that are just for him.

Your Pomeranian should get at least 30 minutes of playtime outside every day. This can include walks around the neighborhood or playing fetch in the backyard. If you have time, take him on walks through the local park or along a bike path where there are more people walking their dogs so he can socialize with other pups as well!

If you’re feeling ambitious, why not try training him in agility? Agility requires both physical and mental skills from your pooch – it tests their strength as well as their willingness to work hard for you! Dog agility competitions are always fun events for both humans and animals alike – plus they’re great opportunities for bonding between owner and pet!

There are many ways you can provide plenty of mental stimulation for your Pom, including obedience classes and agility classes.

You can provide plenty of mental stimulation for a Pomeranian by taking them to obedience classes, agility classes and regular walks.

If you have the time and energy, you can even teach your dog to do tricks. There are websites that offer instructions on how to train your dog as well as videos that show what each trick looks like performed by a trained dog. You may be surprised at how quickly they learn these new behaviors!

There are also many other ways in which you can mentally stimulate your Pomeranian: running around outside playing fetch or hide-and-seek, playing with other dogs or humans (especially children), playing with toys such as Kongs stuffed with peanut butter or frozen broth cubes so that they work hard at getting it out of the container without being able to use their paws (which is great exercise!), just sitting quietly together doing nothing but taking in nature’s beauty…the list goes on!

If you train your Pom properly and give them the exercise they need, they will be a happy and well-behaved member of the family

If you are a proud Pomeranian parent and you want to ensure your dog is happy and well-behaved, there are a few things you can do. The most important thing is consistency. Dog owners are often tempted to give up when their dogs get into the habit of doing something bad, but if you keep at it, your Pom will soon learn that he needs to behave in order for him to get what he wants. If your dog has been acting out recently or not getting along with other dogs, try putting them on a leash so they can’t run off or cause trouble while walking them around the park or neighborhood. This way they’ll be able to focus on learning new things instead of worrying about getting into fights with other animals who might be stronger than them!

As far as training goes: consistency again! It’s very important that whatever rules/commands/etcetera that we set forth early on remain consistent throughout our pet’s life span (i say “we” because poms aren’t just pets…they’re family).
