Three Tips for Effective Pomeranian Training by Tracy Barbadanikios

Training your Pomeranian puppy doesn't have to be a difficult task. Based on advice from expert Pomeranian breeder Jerrie Freia, these three simple tips will jumpstart your dog's training. By following this sage advice, before you know it your Pomeranian will be trained like the best.Our first tip is simply consistency. Consistency in every aspect of your Pomeranian's training. This holds particularly true when it comes to housebreaking your dog. Be consistent in the route and door you use to take your puppy outdoors. Consistently use the same positive words and body language when encouraging your Pomeranian to potty outdoors. Be consistent in setting the kitchen clock and bringing your puppy outside again twenty minutes after it first relieves itself. Being consistent in all these aspects of your Pomeranian's training is the key to fast and effective results. You will find that this important first tip will quickly pay back in dividends.Second, always ensure that you use both positive words and positive body language when training your dog. The Pomeranian breed is highly perceptive of the words and mannerisms of its handlers. When training your Pomeranian try to use the same words consistently. The choice of words is not near as important as consistently using the same word. "Go." "Potty." "Go Potty." It doesn't matter which one you use, provided that you always use the same word or phrase. Concerning body language, it is important to remember that your puppy will quickly pick up on both positive and negative visual cues from you. Thus, it is very important to watch your mannerisms throughout the training process. Always keep an inviting demeanor. Instead of placing your hands on your hips, consider bending your head and kneeling over to encourage your dog. By doing so you will quickly discover that your puppy will become more receptive to your training methods. Such positive body language and words also work wonders when training second-home and rescue Pomeranians. Our third tip for effective Pomeranian training is to ensure you have the proper amount of time to train a new puppy. If you don't have time for a puppy this month, simply don't get it. Don't. Put it off until you can promise that dog you have the time to commit to its development. The first two weeks are the most important. Puppies under a year old cannot possibly be expected to hold it for twelve hours or longer. Get a dog-walker if you must. But, even more importantly, simply ensure you have the time to commit before getting a puppy. The amount of time you spend training your Pomeranian is one of the most significant factors of any training program.To sum it up, training your Pomeranian doesn't have to be a difficult task. Always be consistent in your training methods. Use positive language, both verbally and physically. Ensure you have the time to commit prior to getting your puppy. Using these three tips, you'll quickly be on your way to accomplishing effective Pomeranian training.
