Pomsky Training, Care, and Education
Resources for new Pomsky owners
Our dogs are our babies. It is vital that, as owners, we educate ourselves to give them the best Pomsky training and care possible. Whether you’re getting ready for a new puppy, potty training, or dog-proofing your home, here are some valuable tips to help new Pomsky owners navigate the waters of puppyhood and dog ownership. Even if you bring an older dog home for the first time, it is never too late to teach an old dog new tricks!

Essential Items You’ll Need When Bringing A Puppy Home
What food, bedding, treats, and toys should you have on hand when your Pomsky comes home for the first time? We review the essential items you’ll want to have ready to make your puppy feel right at home. We’ve learned what Pomskies love, and we share our tips for toys and treats, too!
Daily Puppy Routine
One of the best things you can do after bringing your puppy home is to establish a regular routine. This includes having set times for eating, potty breaks, and playtime. Although you may not be able to do formal Pomsky training until your puppy is a little older, you can get them used to hearing commands that will set them up for the future. Learn more about creating your puppy’s daily routine here.

We go over the basics of potty training your puppy and answer some common questions about house/crate training. We list a few things you’ll need to set up for house training success. We also discuss the importance of having structured times and places delegated for potty breaks. If you have any questions during this process, contact us. We’re always here to help.

Bell training is a tool that can be used to have your puppy signal when they need to go out to potty. How do you bell train a dog, though? We share tips and tricks so you can easily bell train your puppy. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your puppy will catch on with consistent effort!
Grooming Your Pomsky
We discuss everything from coat care to why you should never shave a Pomsky. Learn about the benefits of professional grooming, how often your Pomsky will “blow coat” (shed), and the types of products to use for bathtime and brushing.
Items to Avoid

We also discuss what to do if your dog ingests a dangerous item and important phone numbers to keep on hand if that happens.
