How to Train a Pomeranian to Be Obedient?

When that small, fluffy Pomeranian bounces into your life like a little fur ball, its bright and lively eyes seem to hold stars, and its perky little tail wags non - stop. Instantly, it can dispel the gloom in life and bring endless warmth and joy. With their cute and charming appearance, as well as their lively and enthusiastic personalities, Pomeranians have become the darlings of many pet lovers. However, if you want this little elf - like creature to be obedient, a set of scientific and effective training methods is essential.

Understanding the characteristics of Pomeranians is the cornerstone of training. Pomeranians are intelligent and have strong learning abilities. They are highly dependent on and loyal to their owners. However, they also have their own little tempers and may be willful and stubborn occasionally. If the training methods are inappropriate, it may arouse their rebellious psychology. Therefore, during the training process, fully respecting the individuality of Pomeranians and guiding them with patience and love is the key to the smooth progress of training.

The preparatory work before training is of great importance. First, create a warm and comfortable living environment for the Pomeranian. Prepare a soft dog bed and place it in a quiet and warm corner to make it feel safe. At the same time, selecting suitable training props is also indispensable. Prepare some high - quality snacks, such as freeze - dried chicken, cheese pellets, etc. These delicious little rewards are the "secret weapons" in training and can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of Pomeranians. In addition, some toys suitable for it to play with can also be prepared, such as small balls, plush dolls, etc, to enhance interaction and affection with it during breaks from training.

Training should start with basic living habits. Toilet training is of utmost importance. Pomeranians usually need to relieve themselves about 20 - 30 minutes after eating or drinking, and also after waking up. The owner should observe its behavior carefully. Once it starts sniffing around on the ground and circling, immediately call it softly, use a gentle tone to give a fixed command, such as "Go to the toilet", and then carry it to the designated excretion area. This area can be covered with urine pads with attractants or equipped with a pet toilet. When it successfully relieves itself in the designated place, immediately give enthusiastic praise, hand over delicious snacks as a reward, and gently stroke its head to let it feel your joy and recognition. If it accidentally relieves itself in the wrong place, never scold it loudly. This will only make it feel scared and confused. Instead, gently stop it, quickly clean up the excrement and thoroughly eliminate the smell, and then patiently guide it to the correct place again.

Obedience training is a crucial part of making Pomeranians obedient. When training "sit", the owner can hold a snack in front of the Pomeranian and move it slowly upward. Its head will lift with the snack, and its body will naturally sit down. At this time, clearly give the command "sit" immediately, and give a snack reward and gentle praise. After repeated training, it will gradually understand the meaning of this command. When training "come", first call its name to attract its attention, then stretch out your hand with the palm facing down, give the command "come", and take a few steps back at the same time to attract it to come closer to you. When it runs towards you happily, give it a big hug and sufficient snack rewards. Each training session should not be too long, and it is advisable to control it within 5 - 10 minutes to avoid making it bored. However, ensure that there are enough training sessions every day to continuously strengthen its memory.

Pomeranians have lively personalities. If they lack social training, they may show excessive vigilance or aggression towards strangers and other animals. Start taking it to meet different people and animals from the puppy stage, so that it can get used to various environments and sounds. You can take it to parks, pet gatherings, and other places to let it interact with other dogs and people in a safe environment. During the social interaction process, the owner should always pay attention to its emotions and behaviors. When it shows a friendly and gentle attitude, give rewards and encouragement in a timely manner. If it shows nervousness, fear, or aggressive behaviors, immediately soothe it with a gentle tone and guide it to relax, so that it understands that friendly interaction is the recognized behavior.

Training a Pomeranian requires the owner to invest a lot of time and patience. Each training session is an opportunity to enhance the bond with it. When you see it grow from a naive little puppy into a well - behaved and obedient little treasure, the sense of achievement and happiness is indescribable. Pomeranians add countless colors to our lives with their innocence and companionship. And we should use scientific training methods, full of love and patience, to create a growth environment full of love and rules for them, and accompany them through every wonderful day.
