Hi. I am new to having a Pomeranian puppy and would like some pointers! We have two large German Shepherds and two labs. Annnnd then we added Luca to the mix and he is terrorizing them. Lol he will be 3 months old at the end of April.
he's got a huge personality for sure, but he's starting to develop some habits that we would like to stray away from, but like I said, I'm a newbie to Pom babies. I figured I’d reach out to experienced Pom owners. I did a lot of research on the breed before bringing him home. but google only tells you so much and it’s usually generic information.
1) He has started barking at everything. Which we expected. But he barks in the big dogs faces, and we have one grumpy old man that doesn’t care for it. i don’t think Old Man will do much other than get up and walk away, but dogs can unpredictable. How can we teach him to respect the big dogs?
2) He bites the kids' pant legs and tries to pull them down. We use the “no bite” and redirections with toys and such. but I want to make sure that’s the best way to teach him.
3) He runs behind the big dogs and pulls at the fluff on the back of their legs. Basically he's just being a little Tasmanian Devil to the big dogs ...
4) He humps everything! we are getting him neutered as soon as he’s able to, but are there other techniques to curb this behavior ?
