The cute attitude of the Pomeranian makes it a great asset within the home and to further enhance the experience of having a Pomeranian at home, it is essential to consider Pomeranian training and more particularly potty training. Along with its small size and courageousness, the Pomeranian is also an excellent watchdog. Even though it learns things easily and can be trained, when it comes to housebreaking it is not the quickest learner.
Thus, there is a great need to first of all get it to learn where to go. In order to get started with Pomeranian potty training it will help to give it its own playpen where it can be fed and given water as well as allowed to sleep in a comfortable bed. Then, whenever your Pom wakes up in the morning it should be taken out and shown where to eliminate. And to further reinforce the habit, it should then be taken to the same place at regular intervals and following every meal. When he does the right thing it would be a good idea to show your approval by using positive rewards. Of course, accidents are bound to occur and should be taken in stride rather than physically punishing the pet or rubbing its nose in the mess, as this should be avoided at all times. After all, you want to teach it the proper thing to do rather than make it fearful of you and that is what good Pomeranian potty training is all about.
Sometimes, your Pomeranian potty training will require that you have to take the puppy out to the potty area in a hurry, or you may need to clean up the mess he has created so that no smell lingers. For better results as far as potty training goes, you may want to use products that smell just like urine and all you then need to do in order to reinforce the training is to place one of these where you want it to do its potty. When the Pomeranian smells the urine, he can immediately associate it with his training and thus will become potty trained in a simple though effective manner.
Another useful tip as far as Pomeranian potty training goes is that when you catch your Pomeranian doing his potty where he shouldn’t remember to clap your hands loudly and to also say no forcefully and loudly, after which you can pick him up and take him outside. The effect of your voice should awaken him to what he is doing wrong and also make him stop, and once he is taken outside, he can complete his business once more.Once he does that, you should praise him and even give him a reward.
There is not much to Pomeranian potty training if you address it in the proper manner ensuring that your pet pick it up quickly. However, remember that if you catch your pet having an accident and more than a few seconds have passed since the act, there will be no sense in punishing it because pups can only understand what has just taken place. And if you attempt to correct the problem well after it has happened, it will only end up confusing and instilling fear in your Pomeranian. Dogs tend to have short memories and may not be able to link your reaction to any specific action, especially an accident.
What is important is that Pomeranian potty training means being successful in getting your pet to associate a place or places (preferably outside the home) where it should do his potty. It is through positive reinforcement that the best results will come about making a happy and harmonious home for both you and your pet.
One of the better means of getting the most out Pomeranian training efforts is to not indulge in unwanted activities. Dog training books have a lot of information that will interest you if you are keen to know more about Pomeranian training.
