Extensive use of praise will make the lessons a fun time for dog and owner. Owing to the diminutive size and high energy level size the Pomeranian is not recommended for families with young children. Pomeranians are suitable for flat dwellers who are prepared to exercise their dog on a regular basis and also make loyal and intelligent companions for the elderly. When you stroke or pat your Pomeranian stroke the coat from the tail to the head as this will raise the dense coat. Teach your baby from a young age to accept and enjoy being groomed.
Occasional bathing is recommended with a shampoo formulated for dogs.
As dogs have a different ph to humans, for best results do not use your own shampoo. Trimming of hair around the anus for cleanliness is recommended. Toe nails should be kept as short as possible. Teeth should be kept clean, any retained baby teeth should be removed by your vet. Raw chicken necks or wings may be feed on a regular basis to help keep teeth clean.
