Pomeranian
Pomeranian Training
Foster a bond with your Pom puppy by setting up positive behaviours for adulthood. These dogs work well with treat incentives, so be sure to have a supply on hand to keep their attention. Once they get the basics down like “sit”, “stay”, “come” and “potty”, you can move on to more complicated adventures, like agility. Poms, and most breeds, thrive on routine, so do your best at keeping things consistent. Discourage bad behaviour like chewing, nipping or sleeping on the bed early on. It’s also smart to work out any barking issues as soon as possible, by teaching the command “quiet”. Your neighbours will thank you.
Selecting a Pomeranian Puppy
Pomeranian Puppy Ears
Poms have small ears that are carried high and mounted when erect. Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
