Answer 1

Wow - I was pet sitting a maltese puppy and had him house trained in the week/10 days the people were gone. I took him out every couple of hours and 1/2 hour after eating and he did the rest. Of course I wasn't letting him out of my sight because I'm sure he looked like a snack to my other dogs.

First and foremost you need to stop sleeping with him. This makes you an eqaul member of the pack to him instead of the leader. Until he is potty trained he should be sleeping in his cage. Do not give him any water after 6 pm, this will reduce night time accidents. When you are home, take him out every hour. Give LOTS of praise when he goes. Small dogs do not have full control over their bladders until they are about 1 year old so expect a few accidents until then.

how old is he? Young puppies need to be taken out every 2 hours. Also... if the crate is too big for him, he'll end up using a corner in the crate. With a dog that size, you may want to consider paper training him. Idk why, but small dogs tend to be harder to house break... prolly b/c we miss thier accidents too often.
When you catch the dog in the act, interrupt him with a loud noise. Yelling "NO", or hitting him will likely only make him hide where he goes. Instead, clap or something. Then rush the pup outside. Always reward him with a treat and praise when he gose outside (or on the papers if you paper train him). Make sure you watch him. The best way to house break is to take them out when you notice them looking for a place to go. When your dog has an accident in the house, it's your fault, not theirs. Don't make him wait too long between trips outside!
Also, when taking him out, have the dog walk to the door (put the leash on and lead him out). If you always carry him, he'll never learn to go to the door when he wants out.

Answer 5

DOGS UNDER 6 MONTHS OLD ARE USUALLY NOT READY DEVELOPMENTALLY TO LEARN THE RIGHT SPOT. YOU NEED Patience, love, lots of positive reinforcement and proper training techniques. The behavioral success of your pet is a direct reflection of YOUR training, not their intelligence. Love your puppy, and be patient with yourself!

Please remember not to feed your maltese (I have one too) wet/pouched food because of the pet food recall. Be part of the solution be signing this petition against Menu Foods. Click on the URL!
