The dameranian is not actually a purebred animal. It is actually a mixed breed between a dachshund and a Pomeranian. To find the origin and temperament of this breed, you would need to examine both breeds. The dachshund, for example, originated in the early 10600s in Germany. This breed was specifically bred to hunt small animals such as rabbits. They have very short legs so that they can keep the scent of a prey close to the ground. The Pomeranian also got its name from Germany, also from Poland. Originally this breed was much larger and they were shepherds. However, in the late 1800s, Queen Victoria began reducing the size of the breed to accommodate royalty.
Because it is such a small breed, the dachshund is very brave, curious and very intelligent. They are very devoted animals but also very difficult to train inside and outside the home. This very lively Pomeranian breed is a proud dog. They are very loyal animals and live to be a companion forever. Pomeranians are one of the best show dogs in the industry today. This makes the Dameranian a wonderful breed to train. And here are some tips to get you started training your new friend:
Gaining the respect and trust of an animal is the first action to train it effectively. This phase is especially critical when training a dog. Dogs are very sociable and, unsurprisingly, they respect a dominant handler.
In a dog’s world, if you are the handler, naturally he will agree with what you tell him to do. Until your dog learns to depend on and obey you, it will be difficult for any system of instruction to be successful. As you bond with your dog by becoming the alpha of your personal pack, he will naturally give you the respect and dependency you deserve. Once you have earned your dog’s respect, you will be amazed at how quickly his schooling progresses.
It is essential to recognize that respect comes first, then affection. By aimlessly bathing a new puppy with hugs and affection, you can make his training job more demanding in the future. While a puppy can play the sweet card to get just about anything he wants, it’s a gigantic misstep to start like this. By setting rules for your dog to stick to, you allow him to see what you expect of him.
By having rules and predictable consequences for breaking the rules, you are mimicking the behavior of the pack. Because dogs are pack animals, they naturally respond favorably to this breeding.
Good luck training your new Dameran puppy!
