Raising Two Pomeranian Dogs at the Same Time

Raising two dogs, such as Pomeranians, at the same time can be a trying experience. Pomeranians are prone to developing separation anxiety when their master is away, which can lead to urine and feces stains inside the house, or damage to the furniture and rugs from excessive chewing. Having two Pomeranians exhibiting these issues is double trouble. Giving the dogs a chance to develop on their own, away from their fellow Pomeranian, is the best way to ensure that you are raising two happy, healthy dogs.

Instructions

    • 1

      Keep the Pomeranians separated as much as possible when puppies, especially if they are littermates. Keep them in separate rooms with their own dog bedding -- or at least separate boxes.

    • 2

      Let the Pomeranians outside to eliminate at different times and feed them separately to allow them develop on their own away from their sibling or fellow Pomeranian. Keep them separated to avoid having them bond more with each other than with you. Take them for their checkups with your veterinarian at separate times as well.

    • 3

      Give each Pomeranian plenty of attention individually. Play with them at different times with their own individual toys. Give them treats when spending time with them. Groom them separately with their own brush and comb.

    • 4

      Enroll each Pomeranian -- separately -- in obedience training classes and take them at different times. Explain the situation to the trainer so that they can adapt their training methods, if necessary.

    • 5

      Allow the Pomeranians to spend a little bit of time with each other every day under closely monitored situations. Keep them separated if they begin to fight with each other. As they grow older, such as around eight to 10 months of age, you can begin to let them have more time together in a closely supervised environment,
