Pomeranian Problems to Be Ready For, by Rosie Allan Platinum Quality Author

The little Pomeranian breed of dog is always fun to watch and play with at first but after a while their real personality shines through and that is when many owners experience Pomeranian problems. Before you bring one of the little toy breeds home you may want to discuss these Pomeranian problems with your breeder to make sure that a Pomeranian is the right dog for you. Not all dogs are good for all people so be sure you check out the Pomeranian before you bring it home.

If you have kids you may want to not consider a Pomeranian because a Pomeranian will not be able to tolerate kids at all. The constant movement will unnerve the little dog and the games kids like to play like pulling the dog's hair will not stand at all with any Pomeranian. So if you have small children you may want to consider a different breed of dog.

Another common Pomeranian problem is that shrill little bark that they have and their love of using it constantly and for what seems like no reason at all. A Pomeranian is startled easily and they will bark at the slightest sense of movement from any direction. If you live in an apartment building, or your neighbors are very close to your home, you may not want to get a Pomeranian as they love to warn people of coming danger even when there is no danger coming.

Pomeranians are part of the toy breed and toy breeds, by their nature, are very fragile little animals. You need to always keep an eye out for them as they will curl up under blankets or pillows to sleep and you can kill your dog if you sit on it. Your dog could be in serious physical trouble by just leaping from your arms to the floor so always keep an eye on your Pomeranian to avoid harming them or to make sure that they do not harm themselves.

Your Pomeranian will more than likely take every chance it can get to test your patience. One of the big Pomeranian problems is that they are smart little dogs and they will always want to have things their way. You will find yourself repeating what you say constantly to your Pomeranian so be ready for a lot of patience and discipline. If this is not what you want out of your dog then you may want to consider a different breed.

You will find your Pomeranian testing your last nerve every chance it gets. You need patience to properly train a Pomeranian and you also need to remember that punishment does not work with a dog like this. So you need to repeat yourself a lot and stand firm on your commands so the dog knows that you mean it. Eventually it will sink in, but it can take a while so be ready.
