Hello,

I have just bought a new pomeranian. However, I knew I would have some problems because this pom has not been takin very well care of. I knew I could give this pom a fighting chance.



This new pom is 6 months old and 2 lbs. This doesn't concern me like his size though. I have another 6 month old and He is so tall and bigger features. This new one is so tiny and fridged. I have been potty training my other dog and what i do is tap him on the nose with my finger and put him in the crate. As soon as I do this with my new pom (he has been in a cage his whole life) he yelps and yelps and it sounds like he is going to die. He even cries when I try to pick him up after he has just finished his business. I don't even have to do anything.



I have no idea what way to potty train a dog that is so fragile. I could really use some advice in order for him to learn to go outside and have my other pom follow the same example.



Thanks

Sounds to me that the tapping on the nose is not a good idea. The little pom thinks he is going to be beaten. Have you tried wee wee pads.
