Personality Of Maltese

Maltese dogs are naturally lively. These people-oriented pups do well in training, especially when positive reinforcement (praises, play, and food rewards) is used. Maltese dogs are fearless, and they think that any animals or people they meet is their friend. Despite their cuteness and sweet personality, Maltese dogs are known to always get their way, even with those who do not intend to spoil them.

Breeders of Maltese dogs generally do not sell pups to families that have young children, as injuring a dog of this size will almost be effortless to injure them (e.g., dropping, tightly holding, and stepping on the dog. They do best with adults or quiet and older kids.

This breed does well around fellow pups and cats, given early socialization. However, they aren't aware of their size, so owners should protect them from their tendency to take on larger dogs.
