Real Talk: What You Should Know

The 8-16 week window is golden. This is when socialization matters most. Don't wait to start!
Accidents will happen. Your puppy isn't being stubborn—they're just learning. Be patient with the process.
Get to the vet early. Book that first appointment within a couple days of bringing your puppy home.
Tire out their brain, not just their body. Pomeranians are smart little dogs who need mental challenges as much as physical exercise.
You're doing better than you think. Seriously. Puppy parenting is hard, but you've got this.
