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.

The first step in Pomeranian potty training is to keep it in a playpen that also has clean newspaper down and where its food and water are kept along with a comfortable bed where it can sleep. It is a good idea to begin its potty training by taking it out when he wakes up in the morning and show him the area where he should go.

Still, you also need to know how to handle accidents when they occur, as this is a good time in Pomeranian training to exercise patience and perseverance with the potty training. In any case, you should not strike him or rub his nose in the mess as that will only make him fearful and not properly potty trained.

Pomeranian training requires a good deal of effort on your part and it involves teaching your pet more than just showing it where to go out and poop. What's more, when it does mess up within the home, you need to clean up the mess so thoroughly that there is no smell of remaining. You can, on the other hand, use products that smell just like urine and put them where you want your Pomeranian to poop. The smell of urine will immediately mark it as being the right place to eliminate.

Then again, you should also remember that good Pomeranian training methods do not include physical punishment of any kind, even if you catch him in the act where he should not be messing up. Rather you must make a loud clapping sound and even say the word no forcefully and loudly and then take it outside where it can then go. The sound of the clap and your voice should make it realize that it is doing something wrong and thus get the idea about where to go when wanting to defecate.

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.

Also, puppies cannot associate what they did a few seconds after the event, and thus if you are late by more than three or four seconds after he has pooped, there is no point in scolding him because it will not make any sense to him what you are going on about. It is much better to just clean up the mess completely and continuing with your positive reinforcement training.
