Step 1: Be consistent and firm.
Poms are very independent and eager to learn new things.You will need to be firm and gentle when training your Pom so he knows you are in charge.Poorly-trained Poms can end up developing Small Dog Syndrome, which is when the dog thinks he is the leader of the pack.There are serious behavioral problems that can be caused by this syndrome.Without proper training, your little Pom could end up running the household and turning into a tiny terror.
