Maltese are intelligent little dogs and they adore being around people. Because they are always eager and willing to please, these little dogs are easy to train. The problem is that because they are so cute and smart, they like to test the limits and boundaries to see how much they can get away with.
Their training needs to start early and Maltese puppies have to be wel socialised from a young age for them to be truly well rounded dogs. The key to successfully training a Maltese is to always be consistent and to set boundaries and to always handle these clever little dogs with a firm, yet gentle hand.
