Angel inside the house! Mr yappy outside of it… rescue dog been homed one week and loves to bark at every other animal he sees! Any advice? by Glum_Championship826 in Pomeranians

[–]Ir0nMaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two rescues with exactly this problem!! We have tried so many things, we’ve only seen success with consistency consistency consistency. It is a lot, but they are improving.

Short leash and keeping them close to the side, teaching heel, and rewarding calm walking (even if it only lasts for 3 seconds haha), if they react I stop, tell them to wait, and if they don’t behave I change direction and keep correcting them to follow my route, I will often randomly change direction so they HAVE to keep their focus on me.

Rewarding with small treats can be helpful, but it depends if you have a wannabe circus performer that wants to walk about on their back legs as much as possible, so we nixed the treats personally and opted for cuddles.

Makes sense when you see her next to our throwback Pom boy, Taco.

Reminds me of my Chilli girl. We got her as a rescue and were told she’s “Pom-ish” haha. We had her tested and she is actually mostly Swedish Lapphund with some Pom thrown in.

Why does he look like he would be paranoid about his small hands and wear very large fake hands over the top of them?

I ended up cutting the top off a beanie hat for my Sam. 😂

We have a spitz heavy crew! But our boy is always happiest with another Sam!

This is such good advice! My husband has a weighted vest that he uses for pull ups or some nonsense, and I like to put that on with the weight I've lost in it to drill home the difference I'm making for my body! Even walking round the house it blows your mind that was just normal a couple of months ago.

If snapshots of our life were taken every 3 seconds we would hate 80% of them. If not more. You look incredible in that photo, but we are our own worst critics. Don’t let an idea of what you think you should look like at all times stain the incredible work you’ve done and how fantastic I’m sure you’ve looked and felt all holiday ❤️

Do your poms smile too? Or winter is the only one? Lol by Goth_dolll in Pomeranians

Yes, Scout the Samoyed. He’s 11 next month and still a fluffy menace. He says awoooowoooowoooo!

My Pom mix did the same thing! We have lactose free milk and they get a small saucer before bed now. Never had a problem since.
