I'm getting a bit frustrated. Whenever he's behaving wildly I'll try to get him and bring him where I am but he just takes off running. If I tell him no, he'll rush and do it the second I turn my head and then take off running. Do anyone beleive in crate training? My breeder has advised that I give him a light tap on the bottom if he isn't responding to my "No" however, I've tried this once or twice and he squeaks. Now sometimes if he's playing and then comes to me, I'll put up my hand to pet him and he ducks as if I'm going to tap him (which is something I do very gentle but he definitely gets the point). This really hurts me when I see him ducking. Do you also beleive in tapping them on the bottom? If not, can you offer me an alternatives that actually works as he's becoming a little tyrant which makes me feel like a horrible owner as I can't train my dog.
He's not eligible for training classes until he's 6 mths. What do I do until then? I love him very very much. I'm just tired!

I have no problem with him being a puppy. I devote hours to playing with him however, there is a time to play and a time to calm down and learn to listen. You can't let them run wild all day. What will that do for their development?
I am not able to walk him just yet until after next Wednesday when he's had his last set of shots.
Again, I have no problem with the playing as it makes him happy however my question is, how do I communicate with him when he's doing something wrong? As a puppy he needs to be constantly watched when he's free to roam in the house as he could hurt himself. If I know something can harm him or he could get hurt doing something, I need him to learn to respond to "No".

I DO believe in crate training, but before you lock him up, are you giving your dog enough exercise? First -Walk him, A LOT - tire him out. Practice training - make him sit and calm down before getting a meal, treat or going outside.
Have you ever watched a mother dog with her puppies? She keeps them in line with two things, small mouthing around the back of the puppy's neck and kind of "tssk" noise.
I don't use a tap, but I can "tssk" them and get them to stop something across the room in most cases. I have three, and one used to be INSANE as a puppy.

a puppy thats wants to run around!!! that is totally out of control!!
sorry for the sarcasm. there is a time and place for everything, even a time and place for puppies to run and play. also consider adopting an adult dog next time, they are past the puppy stage, ya know? and maybe even consider using your experience to reccommend to others to adopt adult dogs, it 10 time easier and if someone only wants a dog cause the puppies are cute then they probably shouldnt get a dog

I've a Pomeranian-spitz and he or she's potty informed relatively well. What I did when she was once a dog was, I convey her out everytime I think she'll go potty. We carry her to her potty subject 1st thing in the morning. She often pees when she wakes up. Then, I deliver her out again when she wakes up after every nap since i noticed she'll pee almost after each nap. 15mins after consuming, i'm going to convey her out once more seeing that I detect she poops throughout these time. Simply learn your pom's sched and verify when she is going to go potty. Whilst you get her pursuits, it's handy for you to carry her out. After three weeks of coaching, she sooner or later got it by way of herself. I supply her treats everytime we exit btw. Now, she's 1 half years ancient, and at any time when she poops, she nonetheless expects a deal with. Fairly humorous.
