Pomeranians are cute little toy dogs that people love to death when they first see them. But they can come with their own brand of Pomeranian problems that can quickly make the novelty wear off. Discuss with your breeder any of these potential issues and make sure you are sure you want a Pomeranian before you go to the trouble of buying one and then bringing it home. Sometimes certain breeds are just not right for certain people so be sure before you invest in your new pet.



Pomeranians are not the best dogs to have around children. The Pomeranian has a low tolerance for the kinds of activity that children like to engage in like running around and pulling and poking at the dog. There is almost no tolerance by a Pomeranian for people chasing it and any of these problems can result in biting so be careful. If you have small children then you really may want to consider getting 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.

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.

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.
