Bringing home a new Maltese
terrier puppy can be overwhelming for both you and the puppy. The puppy will be
bombarded with a new environment and new people, so try to let him or her get
acclimated slowly. At the same time, you will want to softly introduce certain
elements to make the transition into training your Maltese terrier for obedience
smooth. Here is a basic outline of some things you can do to keep your Maltese
terrier happy, healthy, safe and well prepared for obedience training.
Help
your Maltese terrier learn to have a positive association with things like their
crate, leash/collar, grooming table, even the trip to the veterinarian. Introduce
these things one at a time and let your puppy gain comfort on their own terms.
For example, introduce a collar to your puppy and let him/her get comfortable
wearing it before you try to attach a leash. Once the lease is introduced ease
into situations in which the puppy will be pushing the bounds of the leash. The
same rules should apply to introducing your new puppy to people. Ease the puppy
into being around more and more people.
One of the biggest concerns in bringing
home a new puppy is potty training. You can make potty training your Maltese terrier
easiest by creating a schedule and adhering to it. The more committed you are
to a set schedule, the quicker your puppy will adapt. Pick several times during
the day to take your puppy outside to relieve him/her self. Puppies have not yet
learned how to control themselves, so keep this in mind when you set your schedule.
When you take your puppy outside and he/she successfully relieves him/her self
reward them with positive verbal cues, even a treat or two. Make the rewarded
behavior very clear.
Because Maltese terriers have a playful temperament
by nature you can expect them to be a little rambunctious at times. Take this
as an opportunity to engage in some fun with them. A playful puppy is a happy
puppy. If you’re concerned about your Maltese terrier puppy chewing on things
they shouldn’t, make it clear to the puppy which items are chewable toys by keeping
them in a central location, and encourage the puppy to play with them. Don’t overwhelm
the puppy by introducing too many toys at once, otherwise the line between toys
and non-toys might be a little confusing.
Preparing Your Maltese Terrier
For Obedience Training
If you introduce new stimulants slowly, and create
a comfortable environment for your Maltese terrier to learn and explore, you will
successfully set the stage for effective Maltese terrier obedience training. Laying
a solid foundation will give you the room to continue the training process with
your puppy, and will make things easier for both of you. Maltese terrier training
is the time when you can solidify your bond with your Maltese terrier puppy. Enjoy
