Pomeranian Puppies are one of the cutest creatures you will ever lay eyes on but, are Pomeranians hard to potty train?
Pomeranian puppies can be hard to potty train due to their some size and stubborn personalities. As Pomeranian owners we also can assist in the potty training diffcuties by not giving our puppies the time and attention they need.
Are Pomeranian Puppies Hard To Potty Train
Some people may say that Pomeranian puppies are hard to potty train, and many would be right.
As a breed Pomeranians are independent and a bit stubborn making it a challenge to train some dogs.
It will depend on many factors whether your Pomeranian puppy is hard to train including the personality of the puppy, the time you have for training, and the patience and dedication you have towards training your puppy.
How Long Does It Take To Potty Train A Pomeranian
On average it can take 4 to 6 months to train a Pomeranian puppy.
The time it takes to train your Pomeranian will be determined by the amount of time and focus you have to dedicate to the process.
Is It Easier To Potty Train A Second Pomeranian
Our first Pomeranian was the hardest to potty train by leaps and bounds.
It took an extremely long time around six to eight months before our first Pomeranian didn’t have any more occasional accidents in the house.
Our second and third Pomeranians were so much easier and faster to train.
I believe having one dog already to lead by example makes training a second dog so much easier.
Are Small Dogs Harder To Potty Train
Small dogs are not always harder to train when compared to big dogs.
There are situations that may cause people to have a harder time potty training small dogs that don’t have anything to do with the dogs’ physical abilities.
As humans, we are more likely to give the small dog a break and be less focused on the potty training process because the urine and feces that are left in our homes are much smaller and easier to clean up making the situation feel less urgent.
We think of small dogs as little babies making it hard for us to scold them during training.
We often go light on training since our natural instincts are to nurture.
More small dogs are found in challenging living situations like high-rise apartments in cities, making it harder for the owners to take their dogs outside in time.
Can Big Dogs Hold Their Bladders Longer
Naturally big dogs have larger bladders making it easier for them to hold their urine for a longer period of time compared to a small dog like a Pomeranian.

Potty training a Pomeranian can sometimes be challenging especially if your puppy is the only dog in the home.
Potty training a second dog when they already have a potty trained dog to witness is usually easier.
Pomeranains are so cute and little making it easy for us owners to overlook the mess they are making and draw out the entire process.
Regardless, it can take from 4 to 6 months to fully potty train your Pomeranian puppy.
