Things to Remember When Fixing Behavior

Address it early. Behaviors don't get better on their own. The longer you let something slide, the harder it is to fix. Start correcting problems now.
Consistency is non-negotiable. If you let them get away with jumping on Monday but punish them for it on Tuesday, you're just confusing them. Pick a rule and stick to it.
Don't reward bad behavior accidentally. Giving attention when they bark or whine teaches them that acting out gets results. Ignore the bad, reward the good.
Exercise helps everything. A tired Pom is a well-behaved Pom. Most behavior issues get way better when they're actually burning off energy every day.
Fear and aggression need pros. If your Pom is genuinely aggressive or terrified, don't try to DIY it. Get a certified dog trainer or behaviorist involved before it escalates.
Small doesn't mean harmless. Just because they're tiny doesn't mean biting, growling, or lunging is cute. Treat behavior problems like you would in a big dog.
