Cuddly Teacup Pomeranians

Pomeranians are little, especially teacups, but their personalities are known for being larger than life. These small creatures are lively, playful, and brave. This spunk can sometimes translate into quite a feisty dog who has a tendency to bark and can be wary of strangers. This is mostly due to their fierce loyalty to their owner – they don’t appreciate people stealing their favorite person’s attention.

To help curb these jealous and territorial tendencies, it’s important to socialize a Teacup Pomeranian with humans and other canines. With that said, a Teacup Pomeranian owner should be diligent when their pup is interacting with other dogs, especially those who are much bigger. Pomeranians have no idea how small they are and can sometimes try to pick fights they certainly could not win.

Because of their natural tendency to bark, Pomeranians can make excellent guard dogs. However, you should take care not to let this instinct get out of hand. If properly trained and given plenty of opportunities to mingle, a Teacup Pomeranian will turn into a smart and alert companion who is certain to keep you entertained and laughing with their joyous disposition and animated spirit.

As we’ve mentioned, Teacup Pomeranians are wonderful apartment dwellers and can find many ways to entertain themselves inside. These smart little creatures should still be given plenty of stimulation. You can exercise their eager brains with a regular training regiment. They love to learn new tricks and look just the cutest doing it. Pomeranians are known for having short attention spans, so keep the training sessions short and fun. Positive reinforcement is the only way to train this sensitive breed. They can become easily sullen or even act out if they are treated harshly. However, if they are working for affection or a treat, you are likely to get much better (and happier) results.

It’s important not to spoil this teacup breed. Easier said than done with a dog that looks more like a teddy bear than an animal. But despite their size, they still have the same instincts and needs as other canines and should be treated as such to live happy and fulfilled lives. If they are not given structure and regular training, they can develop “small dog syndrome” and become very difficult to handle.
