Pomeranians are quick-witted little dogs that can be toilet trained just like any other dog. Nevertheless, they differ in that they are able to learn how to go to the toilet not only on the street, but also on a special diaper and even in a litter box. While the Pomeranian training is underway, it is important to be patient and consistent. It will be easier to train your pet if you use a special command for the toilet, take him to the toilet in the same place and reward the animal with praise in a timely manner (when the dog does all his work in the right place).

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Preparatory Procedures

1. 1 Choose a location for the dog's litter box. Before bringing your purchased puppy home, decide where your Pomeranian will go to the bathroom. This place should be comfortable for both you and the dog. To establish a proper habit with your Pomeranian, you will need to regularly take him to the toilet. Possible options are: a piece of land in your yard, or special diapers or a litter box in your home. If you often leave the house for long periods of time, then having a diaper or litter box will become a necessity.
   • On a dedicated toilet piece of land There should be no special or valuable plants, as this is where the dog will urinate and defecate.
   • Diapers for puppies are similar to children's disposable diapers and are made from the same absorbent materials. The dog will go to the toilet on such diapers, after which they must be thrown away.
   • Also applicable for Pomeranian toilet trays... Choose a tray with low sides so your puppy can easily jump into it. Empty the excrement tray once a day and change soiled litter, and once a week, completely wash the tray with disinfectant.
2. 2 Choose a special team to train your Pomeranian to go to the toilet. Before you start teaching your pet to go to the toilet in the proper place, choose the command that you will use each time the dog goes to the toilet. By doing this, you will develop an associative connection between the command and the process of bowel movement, so that, in the end, she can even learn to go to the toilet on command.
   • Use a simple voice command such as “to the toilet”.
3. 3 Show the Pomeranian where he should go to the toilet. When starting your training, take your Pomeranian to where he should go to the bathroom. Do not let him run freely throughout the house, otherwise he can sit down and go to the toilet wherever he wants.The residual odor in these areas will attract the puppy to go to the toilet again in the wrong place, and it will be much more difficult for you to train him to cleanliness.
   • If you're teaching your Pomeranian to go to the bathroom at home, try spreading out disposable diapers or placing a litter box where your puppy has gone to the toilet several times. This will make it easier for him to switch to a diaper or litter box.
   • Before the Pomeranian knows what you want from him, you will probably have to take him outside several times, or carry him to a diaper or tray. Be patient and gentle.

Method 2 of 3: Developing Good Habits

1. 1 Develop a good daily routine for your dog. Having a regular regime will help the Pomeranian to learn where and when he should go to the toilet. Remember that puppies have small bladders and often need to go to the toilet, so be sure to feed the puppy often and take him outside (or take him to a diaper or litter box). For example, puppies between 8 and 12 weeks old should be taken to the toilet approximately every 30 minutes.
   • If the puppy does his job in the right place, reward him and give him another chance to go to the toilet in 30 minutes. If your puppy doesn’t go to the toilet, keep a close eye on him. As soon as he starts sniffing to do his job, take him to the designated place for the toilet.
2. 2 Encourage the spitz to always go to the toilet in the same place. Taking your dog to the same litter spot at all times will also help train him to be clean. Use a hint command (for example, “to the toilet”) so that the Pomeranian better understands what is required of him in this place. Visiting a regular litter spot and using the same commands will help you to toilet train your pet faster.
   • Do not skimp on praise for your dog when he goes to the toilet on the street or at home on a diaper or in a litter box.
3. 3 While the learning process is underway, keep a close eye on the Pomeranian. Paying attention to your puppy showing signs that he wants to use the toilet can also help you train him to cleanliness. If your orange tends to go to the toilet in the wrong place, make sure that he is constantly in front of your eyes. Knowing where your dog is and what it is doing will make it easier for you to train it to go to the toilet where you need it.
   • Try to keep the Pomeranian close to you on a 1.8 m long leash.This way you will not let him leave you in another room to go to the toilet there, in addition, this way you will be able to monitor his behavior in order to pay attention in a timely manner. for signs that the pet wants to use the toilet.
   • If you do not have the opportunity to look after the Pomeranian during the day, you can train him to cage or use a children's wicket to limit the territory in which the dog can move for a short time (less than 4 hours).
4. 4 Stop the spitz if you notice that he is going to the toilet in the wrong place. If you notice that your dog is about to urinate or defecate in the wrong place, grab his attention with a loud hand clap. Do not yell at your pet or use physical punishment to correct its behavior. Just clap your hands to get attention, and then immediately take the dog to the correct place for the toilet (outside, diaper or litter box).
   • Be kind to your dog and support him as you carry him to the toilet. If you swear or show your anger, the Pomeranian may associate going to the bathroom with punishment.
5. 5 Clean up oversights immediately after the dog. The residual smell of the dog's past missteps can make the Pomeranian go to the toilet again in the same place.To prevent this from happening, it is best to clean up the dog's back immediately using enzymatic cleaners specifically designed for pet cleaning.
   • Do not swear at the Pomeranian and do not punish him if he goes to the toilet in the wrong place. Doing so will not wean him from bad behavior and may even cause other problems such as fear and anxiety.
6. 6 Praise the Pomeranian when he goes to the toilet where needed. Positive reinforcement is the best way to teach your Pomeranian a new behavior. Be sure to give your dog generous praise after urinating or defecating in the proper place. You can also reward your dog with treats, games, or walks.
   • Reward your dog with praise, treats, or other rewards as soon as he goes to the toilet in the right place. This will help the Pomeranian to realize that he did something right.

Method 3 of 3: Promoting a Successful Outcome

1. 1 Follow your veterinarian's recommendations for treating any health problem in your dog. Some dogs may start going to the toilet at home due to medical problems. If your veterinarian detects a problem in your dog that requires treatment, medication, or other intervention, be sure to follow their instructions.
   • If the Pomeranian goes to the toilet in the wrong place because of health problems, then the situation will not change until you cure him. If, despite treatment, your dog's condition does not improve or even starts to worsen, contact your veterinarian immediately.
2. 2 Purchase cold and / or wet weather equipment for your dog. Some dogs just don't like walking in bad weather. To make the weather more bearable for your dog, you can purchase special equipment for cold and / or wet weather. For example, if your dog doesn't like walking with his bare paws in the snow, try using dog boots while walking. If your dog doesn't like getting wet in the rain, try purchasing a raincoat for him to wear in rainy weather.
3. 3 Ask a neighbor or friend to keep an eye on the Pomeranian while you are away. So that the dog does not have to endure too long while waiting for a walk, ask a friend or neighbor to come to you periodically in order to walk the spitz in a timely manner or offer him to use a diaper or litter box. If you are toilet training an orange on the street, but at the same time leave him at home locked up for a few hours, he simply will not be able to restrain himself for so long and will definitely make a mistake. Even if you teach a spitz to go to the toilet on a diaper or in a tray, at first he will need certain instructions and tips from you.
   • If you do not have acquaintances who want to look after the Pomeranian during your long absence, try hiring a special nurse for the pet on the days when you will not be home for a long time.
4. 4 Try seeking help from a certified dog trainer. If your dog is struggling to learn the rules of cleanliness within the walls of the house and there is no medical reason for this, it probably won't hurt to contact a professional dog training instructor to help you toilet train your Pomeranian.

Tips

• Praising your dog for going to the toilet in the right place will create positive reinforcement for the dog's actions so that it is more likely to behave in the same way in the future.
• Remember to be patient while teaching your Pomeranian. It may take a couple of months for your dog to firmly master the cleanliness skills.

Warnings

• Never hit your dog when toilet training. She will only start to be afraid of you, but she will not learn anything.
• Never poke a dog's nose in its own oversight if it goes to the toilet in the wrong place. Although this method is used by many people, it is ineffective.This will only scare the dog and exacerbate the problem.
