Pomeranians are playful, and loveable companions that tend to form strong bonds with one family member in particular. With this one person they will be very affectionate and will happily curl up on your lap for a snuggle. However, these dogs have a bit of a protective streak which means they can become aggressive with strangers if not trained properly from a young age. These dogs generally get along well with older children but they are not best suited to families with young children as they are known to become snappy when play gets too rough. The miniature Pomeranian is also highly intelligent and very eager to please which makes them relatively easy to train. They love the stimulation that comes with clicker training and need to be provided with plenty of interactive toys to keep their strong minds active!
Pomeranians can get along with other dogs and cats if they are brought up together from a young age. However, it is best to supervise all interactions between your pets due to the Pomeranian’s territorial streak. If trained properly, these dogs can make very sweet companions that will keep you entertained with their clown-ish behaviours and puppy-like personalities.
