Pomeranian Puppy Training Tips!?
I have a 9 wk old Pomeranian puppy and Im coming to find out she can be quite stuborn :p. I would really love some tips on Leash and House training her (and other helpfull tips 
). Im taking her outside to do her business but shes been going potty in her crate during the night (and waking me up early in the morning crying). She also has been tuggin on her leash. Its been 5 yrs since ive had a puppy so im little rusty on some training techniques. thanks!
Congratulations on the puppy, she sounds adorable.
Leash training is simple enough, and she's young enough to learn quickly. When she pulls, you stop until she turns to you. Give her a treat and move on. Every time she pulls, you stop. She'll eventually learn not to pull and you can move on to teaching her "Heel."
Potty Training: Simple Tips
Puppy can hold potty in for as many hours as she is months. IE four months, four hours. You may have to get up a few times a night to let her out, and may have to go to bed later and get up earlier.
Crate should be big enough to sit, stand, turn around, lay down. Any bigger and they go on one side, sleep on the other.
Feed amount noted on bag, broken into three feedings a day at the same time each day. This regulates the bowels.
Pick up food by six and water by seven.
Puppy needs to go out: First thing in the morning, after eating/drinking, after play, and right before bed.
If you notice sniffing, circling, pawing, etc then rush them out.
Take to the same spot each time. Don't play or let her become distracted. Straight out, potty, straight in.
Treat every time they potty outside. Clap and distract if they go in the house and rush her out.
If you want them to learn to go to the door, take them out the same door each time. When you notice them moving towards the door then take them out. They learn quickly that going to the door means they go outside.
These tips seemed to help our pup. Now she only has accidents when we don't pay attention to her. Have you thought about obedience class when she's a bit older? The trainers help with everything and it's a good way for her to socialize!

try using a harness instead of a standard collar- it will be more helpful in case you need to pull her back fast due to a car or another dog and it wont hurt her when she tugs on it and the harness wont slip off like a collar can. i have 2 poms and they are very stubborn. try setting up a schedule for her walks so she will get used to when she is outside and does something. praise her and if you can give her a treat( careful-poms can be piggish at times with treats)
