How to Train a Pomeranian Not to Bark?

Answer 1

the same way you would train any other dog, lay down newspapers in a specific area for accidents, let out once when you get up in the morning, praising if the dog went pee outdoors, once a little after breakfast, praise, if you go to work/school let out then too, praise, once after evening meal, praise, once before bed, praise, if the dog pees indoors, not on the papers, you bring them to the crime scene, point at the mess, and give and firm, low-voiced NO. after that, thoroughly ignore the dog for a while, even when faced with puppy-dog eyes.

The Pomeranian is a beautiful breed, that is loyal, loving, and intelligent. These dogs are curious and lively, with energy to spare. However, all of this energy can sometimes present itself in the form of excessive barking. Pomeranians are dogs that will bark at visitors, other animals, or when they sense a disturbance of any kind. While this trait makes them great watchdogs, it can also be a nuisance to the dog owner. Fortunately, with the proper training, a Pomeranian can successfully learn to control it’s barking and become a cherished part of a family.

The most important thing that a Pomeranian owner must consider, is that these dogs bark instinctively. While it may be annoying at times, a Pomeranian is not trying to be irritation or cause an unwanted disturbance. This barking is the dogs way of warning it’s owner that a stranger is approaching. Therefore, it is important not to treat the dog’s barking as a disobedient behavior, but like a behavior that simply needs controlling.

Training a Pomeranian not to bark when it senses the presence of another animal or person is almost impossible. Instead, dog owners should aim to teach their dog to bark only once or twice, then cease the behavior. This can be done a few different ways.

When beginning to train a dog not to bark, a dog owner should choose a specific command that the dog can connect with the need to stop barking. This command can be “No barking” or “Quiet”, and should be separate from other commands. Each time the dog begins to bark, the dog owner should promptly use the command and give the dog a treat when the command is followed. As the dog begins to listen to the command, less treats will need to be given, but should still be presented sporadically as to encourage the dog to continue this behavior.

Another way to train a Pomeranian not to bark is to respond to it’s barking with an unwanted behavior. A dog owner can fill a spray bottle with water and spray the dog as it begins to bark, or make an unpleasant sound in response to the barking. A great way to do this is to fill a plastic container with rocks and shake it each time the dog barks. After awhile the dog will begin to associate this unpleasant action with it’s barking, and will reduce the tendecy to barking. With some time and effort, a Pomeranian can effectively learn not to bark and become a quieter, more pleasant companion.
