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.
Pomeranians make lousy watchdogs because they love to bark at everything whether it is a threat or not and sometimes whether anything is really even there or not. One of the big Pomeranian problems is their love of barking whenever they sense anything is near and they will use that shrill little bark to wake the neighbors. So if you live in an apartment building, or you have neighbors that are close by, then you may want to consider not getting a Pomeranian if you want to avoid making enemies very fast.
A toy breed of dog like the Pomeranian is a very fragile animal. If you put too much physical pressure on it by sitting on it or squeezing it too hard then you can kill it. Even something as seemingly minute as the leap from your arms to the floor can kill your Pomeranian so always make sure to keep an eye on your dog to avoid it from seriously injuring itself.
A Pomeranian will test your will because they are an extremely smart little breed of dog and one of the Pomeranian problems that you may experience is that it has a mind of its own and really doesn’t care what you have to say. You will find yourself repeating yourself a lot and if that does not sound like what you want to be spending your time doing with your pet then you may want to consider not getting a Pomeranian.
Pomeranians come with a wide variety of issues and problems that can only be dealt with through time and repetition. The dog is too smart to let simple punishment deter it so you should never punish the dog. Always use positive reinforcement or strong consistent behavior with your Pomeranian to let it know that you mean business. But if you are not looking for a challenge then you may want to avoid a Pomeranian.
