Eliminating Destructive Behaviors Through Maltese Training

Adorable puppy eye isn't the only basis when
contemplating whether or not to get a new
maltese puppy - it is very important to consider
maltese training too. Through training, a
maltese, or other breed of dog for that matter,
gets to learn behaviors acceptable by his human
companions. Furthermore, training also prevents
various behaviors that can destruct or ruin
belongings or cause injuries to anyone around
including you.

One habit that have caused damage in more ways
than you realize is chewing. Your expensive
leather shoes, favorite running footwear,
imported rug, new curtains, flowers and
everything that caught his fancy will not be
spared so long as it is within his reach.
Although this issue is typical among dogs going
through teething stage, grown or adult dogs may
display such behavior if not provided with
appropriate and on time correction. One way to
correct destructive chewing is to keep an eye on
your pet. The instant you see him in the act or
about to chew something, distract him by
creating a noise loud enough to get his focus.
Get that thing he is chewing and substitute it
with chew toys.

Besides chewing, a lot of pet owners have given
up their pets due to urinating or defecating in
inappropriate spots. Unless you want to find new
owners for your furry friend or have extra
cleaning chores for 10 to 15 years, this problem
should be addressed with as soon as possible.
Housebreaking is as important as obedience
maltese training for it is during this time that
dogs specially puppies get to learn when and
where to potty properly. Associate the command
"go potty" with the deed by taking him to your
specified spot after waking up in the morning,
after eating or drinking, after exercise or
activities and prior to bedtime. As such you are
encouraging him develop a routine that will make
your life as a dog owner easy.

While the mentioned behaviors affect furniture
and personal belongings alike, there's one
behavior problem known to potentially cause
injury to humans - biting. What started off as
enjoyment or form of communication can injure
humans if not addressed properly. Hence, bite
inhibition should be utilized in order to teach
your four-legged pet to control his biting and
later on get him to figure out that biting with
force is not acceptable and will not earn him
rewards such as treats.

Destructive behavior is not a permanent
condition. Although it appears in various forms,
it's not impossible to eradicate since there are
many ways to get rid of them too.
