Thanks for the links. I used one of those ideas today and I hope it keeps her busy for awhile at least. I still don't know what to make of the wall thing. She was out with me the other night and she walked right up to one of the spots on the wall that I had just recently patched and started...

Pumpkin is about 7 mos. old, so she is still very young. I will definitely take your advice on not making my arrival a huge deal for her. I guess I'll just ignore her barking and whining for a few minutes and then let her out. She does go in her pen while I'm there, like if she is being too...

She has HUGE anxiety issues....when I come home she'd throw a parade if she could, poor baby. I've heard that poms can be bad about that, but I don't know what to do about it. I'm not one of those folks that will put my dog on medication....but I want her to be able to be on her own. She really...

I am totally perplexed at my Pomeranian's recent habit of scratching holes in the sheet rock of the wall...I don't have rats..for sure and she's been doing it on more than one wall. During the day when we aren't home we pen her up in the kitchen...it's not a small area which is where she's doing...

Thanks so much...I definitely will read through that document. The bitter apple spray is genius! I'm going to do that first thing when I get home. Personally I hate having to use the pee pads for a multitude of reasons..it produces excess garbage, a dog is pooping in my house, etc...but it...

Hey all. I just need a few recommendations on training. I'm a seriously soft touch when it comes to training. My 6.5 month old female Pom has two different personalities...one for me and one for my husband. My husband doesn't take any flack from her so she almost always obeys his commands. When...

Thanks guys. I tried both actually. I just ran her tired playing in the back yard (do you know how hard that is to do with a Pom??) and then combed her. While firmly telling her not to bite the comb or chew on my pants. I think this will just be a process. :)

Hi everyone, I have a nearly 6-month old Pom who is a regular wiggle worm when I try to groom her. With that coat she needs nearly daily brushing but it is so hard b/c she's always trying to bite the comb or lick my hands or generally try to escape. Same thing applies with toe-nail...

Pumpkin has been really good the past two nights...no accidents and right outside to use the restroom...The crate is just big enough for Pumpkin to stand up and turn around. I did have a towel in there with her (which I changed but still had a fresh towel in there the past two nights). I think...

Last night was the second night I crated pumpkin...except this time she peed in there...ugh. I made sure she was only in there for the same amount of time she was in there the night before, but apparently I was too late...I just don't get it. I saw where she was raised...she wasn't keep near her...

I have no idea - hopefully someone can elaborate. Although everything I've read on smaller dogs says the same thing....they go a lot and they take longer to house train.

Well this small dog thing is new territory for me. She's the first dog I've ever owned on my own. All our family dogs were larger (Dalmatians, Labradors) but my mom was always home to let them out. I chose the pads b/c they were less messy and more absorbent than newspaper Plus that would be...

I've definitely decided against the crating while I'm home. It just seems unfair. Although I did try something last night that may help the process. I put her in her crate to sleep (she used to just stay in the pen.) She whined a little bit and then went to sleep. No messes in the morning and...

I seem to have a catch 22 situation with my puppy. She's a great 5 month old Pom who I have posted about once before. Both my husband and I work fulltime and commute 40 minutes together. Since there would be no one home to take Pumpkin out during the day, we blocked off the entire kitchen and...

Thank you! I'll try what you suggested when we have visitors over and hopefully it will help. Of course keeping people away from a cuddly Pomeranian is like telling someone not to eat chocolate! They're too sweet. I've tried to point out the "signs" she gives when she needs to go...but she is...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with a little dilemma we have. We have a four month old Pomeranian pup who we've had for a little over a month. She's everything a puppy should be - hyper, nosy, etc. I'm just having some potty issues with her. I've read all the...
