About the Maltese
Known for their devoted companion who thrives on human attention and develops anxiety disorders when left alone too frequently, Maltese have a fearless confidence and devoted affection packed into a tiny, silky-white package.
Common Maltese Training Challenges
The most common challenge Maltese owners face is separation anxiety and excessive barking when alone. Other frequent issues include separation anxiety, barking, house training difficulty, and tear staining.
Sound familiar?
Picture your Maltese barking hysterically at every noise, refusing to walk on a leash, and having housetraining accidents on every surface you own.
The Right Training Approach for Maltese
The key to training a Maltese lies in leveraging their natural desire to be near their person and love of attention that turns training into the ultimate bonding experience. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Maltese dogs were bred as companions for thousands of years. Being alone feels genuinely distressing to them. Build independence skills gradually and consider a second pet for company if you work long hours.
Maltese puppies need careful socialization with different people. They can become fearful biters if their world is too small.
The Transformation
Whether your Maltese is a barky puppy or an adult who has spent years training you to carry them everywhere, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your tiny, fearless Maltese alerting once then settling quietly, trotting confidently beside you on walks, and going to their designated spot reliably.
