Pomeranians are wonderful little dogs but like any other breed of dog there are Pomeranian problems that you should be aware of before you get involved in owning one. Discuss these issues with your breeder to be sure that you can deal with these potential Pomeranian problems and that a Pomeranian really is the dog for you. Knowing in advance what you are getting into is always a good way to prepare yourself for future issues.

Pomeranians are not the best dogs to have around children. The Pomeranian has a low tolerance for the kinds of activity that children like to engage in like running around and pulling and poking at the dog. There is almost no tolerance by a Pomeranian for people chasing it and any of these problems can result in biting so be careful. If you have small children then you really may want to consider getting a different breed of dog.

Pomeranians love to bark. They will bark at anything that they sense moving whether that thing is really there or not. The subtlest of movements will get that shrill little bark going and this can be one of the bigger Pomeranian problems you will have.

People that live in apartment buildings can make enemies really quick if they buy a Pomeranian because it will probably spend all day barking its head off. If you have neighbors that live very close to you then you may want to consider not having a Pomeranian.

Pomeranians are toy breeds that are very fragile. People seem to forget this when they see their little Pomeranian playing rough sometimes but if your little dog gets sat on it can die. Even something as seemingly simple as a leap from the back of the couch to the floor can kill a Pomeranian so always watch out for your dog.

Your Pomeranian will more than likely take every chance it can get to test your patience. One of the big Pomeranian problems is that they are smart little dogs and they will always want to have things their way. You will find yourself repeating what you say constantly to your Pomeranian so be ready for a lot of patience and discipline. If this is not what you want out of your dog then you may want to consider a different breed.

You will find your Pomeranian testing your last nerve every chance it gets. You need patience to properly train a Pomeranian and you also need to remember that punishment does not work with a dog like this.

You need to stay firm and consistent with your Pomeranian to let it know who is in charge and to make sure that your rules are followed and that your dog does not start making up its own rules to follow. A dog following its own rules is a bad thing and this can happen with a Pomeranian.
