How to Train your MALTESE

Training Your Maltese

The Maltese is a fearless, highly energetic toy dog covered in a mantle of long, white silky hair. They are highly intelligent and eager to learn.

Key Training Tips:

• Avoid Spoiling: Because they are so small and cute, owners often let them get away with bad behavior. Enforce consistent rules to prevent "Small Dog Syndrome."
• House-Training: They can be difficult to house-train. You must be relentlessly consistent and utilize crate training effectively.
• Agility and Tricks: They excel in obedience and miniature agility. Engage their active minds with daily trick-training sessions.

They respond wonderfully to positive reinforcement and make fiercely loyal, highly entertaining companions.
