When considering getting a dog, many assume they need a house with a fenced-in yard. But that may not always be necessary as some breeds thrive when living in apartments and condos.
Pomeranians are lively and intelligent dogs that radiate an abundance of energy that often exceeds their small stature. They get along well with other canines and are always eager to meet new people, often showing an affinity for both.
They don’t need a lot of exercise
Pomeranians make an ideal companion for older adults or those with busy lifestyles, since they require no extensive physical exercise and training. Pomeranians prefer indoor playtime and only need short daily walks. Their small size also makes them good companions for families with older children who understand dog behavior; plus they don’t bark much – perfect for apartment dwellers!
If you’re thinking about adopting a pooch, start socializing them from an early age by exposing them to different people, places, other dogs and cats as well as any behavioral problems before they develop further. Also get your puppy used to being groomed regularly by handling his/her paws regularly or looking inside ears, eyes and mouth. This will make grooming and veterinary exams much less daunting later.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels make great apartment dogs due to their calm and loving disposition. Although generally low-key, these playful pups still love going for walks in the park if given enough exercise. If taking long hikes together make sure there’s enough water on hand so as to prevent dehydration from setting in.
The Yorkie is another breed that thrives in an apartment, thanks to its small size and gentle disposition. These smart dogs can be trained easily; seniors find them especially suitable due to the minimal exercise requirements needed to keep them happy. Low shedding levels make the Yorkie an excellent option for those suffering with allergies; its only drawback may be its noisy barking if not trained early on.
They’re easy to train
Pomeranians are generally low maintenance pets, making them suitable for apartments or homes without yards. Still, they require moderate exercise – like being taken for daily walks – as well as regular brushing sessions to keep their fur from matting up. When training them, make sure you praise and reward their desired behaviors with treats; this will encourage more repetitions of said behavior. It is also essential that they learn not to jump up on furniture, since jumping can cause injuries to their joints and spine.
Poms are very intelligent dogs who respond well to positive reinforcement, love playing and must be stimulated with challenging toys. Since they may become bored quickly, switching out toys regularly will help avoid boredom-related behaviors like chewing. Furthermore, it’s essential that Poms learn not to bark – as these vocal breeds can often become quite vocal when left alone with larger dogs – as well as protecting them against bigger ones.
When purchasing a Pomeranian, ensure it comes from a reputable breeder. Be sure to ask about their parents’ health histories as a good way to evaluate the bloodline quality. Furthermore, inquire with regards to any genetic conditions or inherited disorders within the litter such as heart problems, coat loss, tracheal collapse, hip dysplasia and cataracts that the puppy may inherit.
Pomeranians make loving companions. They want nothing more than to be right by your side at all times – following you everywhere and sleeping next to them at night. Since most people can’t be there 24/7 for their Poms, setting healthy boundaries early is important in alleviating separation anxiety and building their social skills early. Expose them to various people, places and experiences as much as possible!

Although these dogs don’t require intense exercise, it is still important that they get outside daily for fresh air and playtime.
