How to potty train your Maltese puppy
easily.
Be sure to
get Jan Fennell's book or DVD of "The Dog
Listener". It is a must read for any dog
owner! If you only read one thing-be
sure this is it. Here is a link to Jan's
site where the book or DVD can be
purchased
http://www.janfennellthedoglistener.com.
If you are
purchasing a maltese puppy from Sunrise Maltese,
please take a few minutes to read though
the above links.
The
importance of beginning to train your
maltese puppy as soon as he comes home cannot be
over emphasized. Just a few minutes each
day spent in fun interaction and
training with your maltese puppy will reap life
long benefits. Please take the time to
read through my recommend reading list.
By learning how to interact with your
maltese puppy, and understanding how a dog's
mind works, potential behavior problems
will be avoided. Help your maltese puppy
understand what his boundaries are
through obedience training. A well
mannered maltese puppy is one who will be loved
by everyone and welcome anywhere!
It will be
helpful to you and your new Maltese
puppy if
you enroll in a puppy obedience class.
This class will strengthen the bond
between you and your maltese puppy, teach you
both about basic obedience and be a
continued socialization opportunity for
your maltese puppy. This class can be started as
soon as your maltese puppy has completed his
puppy shots (usually between 12 and 16
weeks). If you prefer, professional
trainers can also do individual classes,
or come to your home for private
lessons.

A well
trained Maltese puppy makes a much better pet
than one who is left to his own devices.
