We all know that when we bring our new puppies home that they are going to have to be potty trained but not many people think about where their puppy is going to go or what method they will be using until they get their puppy home. You want to think long and hard about where you want your new Pomeranian to go potty as you want to pick a location that is safe and that he or she will always be able to get to.
Whether you decide to have your little one go potty inside or outside, make sure that the spot you pick is one that is theirs for a long. For example, you wouldn't want to have their potty paper in the kitchen one day, in the bathroom another day, and then upstairs in the hallway on another day. This type of confusion can only lead to unwanted accidents, which would not be the fault of the dog. Being consistent is the key in any type of Pomeranian training and especially in Pomeranian paper training as mistakes can lead to such a big mess.
Even dog training books will tell you that Pomeranian paper training is an excellent tool to be used, even if you want your dog to eventually go outside. The key to using this type of Pomeranian training is that you want to place the paper where the dog has already had an accident, and there will be plenty of them. Once you notice your dog is seeking out and using the paper, slowly work your way towards the outside. It is important that you guide your dog towards the door you want them to use to go outside.
Each day, slowly move the paper a couple of feet and allow your puppy to relieve himself on the paper. Each day, as you get closer to the door, your puppy is slowly, and without realizing it, being trained to head to a certain door for potty time. Once at the door, leave it there for a few days until you are ready to place it on the other side of the door. By doing that, your puppy will want to go outside to the paper. After a few days of that, you can completely remove the paper.
While we want instant success and results, we cannot jump the gun too much when going through Pomeranian paper training. It is important that we pay attention to the signs that your puppy is already giving you. More than likely, your dog has already had some mistakes in the home whether intentional or unintentional by them. And because of the scent left behind, no matter how well you cleaned the area, you may be noticing your dog goes back to the same spot over and over again.
By using that information, you can put your Pomeranian training off to a good start. Place a few papers down in the area that your puppy seems to already be partial to. Once they have started going on the paper for a few days, start to move it towards the place that you want the potty time to actually take place at. Never move it too far at once because this will only cause setbacks in your Pomeranian paper training and you may have to start again. In no time, your dog will be going where you want.
Pomeranian training should not take more then a few weeks if done properly with care and love. Even the dog training books will agree that Pomeranian paper training is the easiest way to potty train your dog.

The Pomeranian is a cute and courageous animal that will win your heart not only because of its affectionate and adorable nature, but because it is a great watch dog as well and despite its small size, it is not going to back down when confronted with danger. However, it is not so easily housebroken and Pomeranian potty training is something for which you need plenty of patience and also a great deal of perseverance, especially in the first few weeks when a new puppy comes into your home.
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. The same can be done after each meal and when he does the right thing you should always reward him to reinforce the training. There is no doubt that accidents will often occur, but with patience and perseverance you should be able to see things through. However, make sure not to physically punish or rub its nose in an accident, as these won’t do your pet any good.
There is a lot more to Pomeranian training than taking it out to where it should go, because good potty training will also require you to clean up after it and when doing so to ensure that you clean up all traces of the accident so that no trace of it lingers. In fact, there are also some products available on the market that smell just like urine and by placing these where you want your Pomeranian to go. You will get good results because your pet will readily associate the smell with having to go potty.
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.
Pomeranian potty training is not a very difficult task provided you approach it with the right frame of mind and also get your pet started out on learning and being given the proper training as soon as he becomes a member of your family. Also, there will be many instances when you catch him in the act of making a mess where he shouldn’t and at such times you need to remember that you should not rub its nose in the mess or use any physical reprimand because that is not the right way to go about potty training.
Once more than a few seconds have elapsed since your Pomeranian has done something wrong, he will forget and not be able to associate his past actions with any discipline that you give. Thus, you should not harp about what has already happened. Just clean up the mess thoroughly and continue your positive reinforcement training.
One of the better means by which to learn about proper Pomeranian training is to read up on various dog training methods. You should get the complete lowdown on Pomeranian training through the use of good Dog training books that will show you how to get the best results.
