Getting a dog is a great pleasure and brings many benefits, but above all, it's a responsibility and a commitment with some constraints. It's wise to follow certain advice and adopt best practices to ensure everything goes smoothly.

The importance of the training phase

The Pomeranian is very lively and responsive to commands, making it relatively easy to train. However, it has a very independent streak and is quite prone to aggression towards larger dogs. Therefore, it's important to teach it caution. Similarly, it has a strong tendency to bark, which should be addressed from a young age, and it greatly enjoys its owner's company, so it's necessary to accustom it to being alone occasionally from a very young age. As with all puppies, patience is key at first, and you must accept that it will make a few mistakes and go through a potty-training phase.

Daily "constraints"

Your Pomeranian will need to be taken out regularly, several times a day to relieve itself if you live in an apartment, and regularly in any case for walks and exercise. It should be fed at regular times and its water should be changed daily. In terms of hygiene, this breed requires regular brushing because it has a particularly thick coat. Like all pets, it will also need affection and attention.

Unforeseen events to anticipate

Your Pomeranian might impact your vacation plans, for example. You can't take your dog everywhere, even if its small size makes it easy to transport. You'll need to be able to leave it with a trusted person if necessary. Similarly, a dog comes with certain costs: whether it's the initial purchase, for some, or providing quality food and the various accessories it will need. Veterinary fees must be factored in, and you'll also need to budget for grooming if you can't do it yourself.

A long-term responsibility

Its cuddly nature is undeniably endearing, especially as a puppy, but with a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, it's a long-term commitment. Your life may change, whether in terms of family or career. You might also have to move... In any case, you'll need to include your dog in your plans. It's best if the whole family welcomes your pet, as it will require attention from everyone. Forcing a dog on someone who doesn't want one can create tension later on. Indeed, the dog will often demand your attention and will generally be dependent on its owners.

Despite these few drawbacks to consider before welcoming a Pomeranian into your home, it's important to remember that they are first and foremost excellent pets, cheerful and affectionate, who will provide you with comfort and companionship every day. It's therefore worth making a few compromises.
