Pomeranian - The Ultimate Companion Animal
|
Dogs in the sporting group work at hunting and field trials. These dogs include spaniels, setters, pointers, and retrievers like the American Water Spaniel, the English Setter, the German Wirehaired Pointer, and the Curly-Coated Retriever. The hound group works by tracking prey, either by scent or by sheer stamina. Scent hounds include the Bloodhound, the Basset Hound and the Beagle. While the Greyhound, Saluki and Whippet can outrun nearly any prey animal over the long haul. The Pomeranian, in contrast to these hard workers, was bred to be a lap dog, a friend and constant companion. Pomeranian dogs are over-the-top confidant and can be so sure of their position in the home that they overwhelm an owner who lacks confidence. These dogs are secure in their position as leader of the pack. It takes a bold, confident owner who is not afraid to take charge to handle an overconfident Pomeranian. Your Pomeranian dog wants to be with you all the time, so be prepared to have your dog sit in your lap or at your side while you read a magazine or newspaper or try to watch TV. These little dogs with huge personalities are inquisitive, intelligent, animated and alert. Pomeranians can sometimes develop extreme attachments to their owners, becoming very protective when they think their master is threatened. This strong-willed protectiveness may lead to excessive barking when the dog becomes suspicious of new people and strangers. Some Pomeranian dogs bark incessantly when a stranger invades their territory, even if the stranger is their owner's welcome guest. Owners must not allow the Pomeranian to get the better of them. Undisciplined dogs may venture into unacceptable behavior like snapping and biting. Don't let the Pomeranian's behavior issues dissuade you from bringing a Pomeranian dog into your life. Whether you get a Pomeranian puppy or rescue dog, these dogs are worth the time, effort and energy required to properly train and socialize them. Many Pomeranians are not suitable for homes with children because they can be temperamental. However, they are prized for their devotion to the elderly and to older children. They have a sweet disposition as long as they get plenty of care and attention. If you have problems disciplining your Pomeranian, locate a dog trainer who has experience with the toy breeds. Consult the trainer with your dog present, so you can demonstrate the behavior that is causing problems. A competent trainer will advise you on what steps you can take to identify issues with your Pomeranian and deal with them before they become serious. By spending time training your Pomeranian every day, most behavior problems can be corrected. About The Author: Rosie Allan, who has a Pomeranian and a Shih Tzu, has written two books on care and training of toy breeds. The Pomeranian is well suited to owners who live in small spaces but want a dog with a giant personality. Pomeranians information reveals that they are lively, appealing pets who love to be the center of attention. |
