shivan 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 seems like my gal is more gung ho...my gal can even jump up my bed that is higher than the sofa. and the way she jumps, is like climbing stairs probably she got used to "falling" from steps sometimes when she missed her steps when going up to our rooms gee... thanks, ranval!! for maltese, they dun have much problems with shedding. in fact, they do not shed much... only occasionally u can find chunks of fur on the floor. but that is really rare Agree with Fifi that Maltese seldom shed which is good but when their fur starts getting long, have to spend time to brush everyday! If not they will start getting matted.Actually Ember is now botak... cos we went for a 1 wk holiday 2 wks back and left her at my parent's place. Needless to say, my sis won't know how to brush her fur. When I got back, her whole body was badly matted. I have to send her to the groomer and shave her botak... Now, she looks very skinny and slim... Not as cute looking but still as lovable... oh!! this is the fence that i used for my gal's playpen...my gal knows how to open this kind of fence if the stoods are not sturdy enuff...she even opened my balcony grilles before!! and she can jump over the fences that reaches her neck when she's sitting down....Wow! Your maltese can really jump... Actually I dun really encourage mine to jump, scared when she gets old next time will have lots of problems with the knees and hips...

Actually I dun really encourage mine to jump, scared when she gets old next time will have lots of problems with the knees and hips... ya... i shaved my gal till very short just a month or more before coz there's construction going on outside the block. she got rashes once there's renovations i dun encourage her to jump too. but her actions are always faster than mine sometimes she aimed inaccurately and she will hit the wood of the bed when she jump so heartpain.when i see her getting ready to jump (u can actually tell coz all her fours will be close together and she will be "running on spot" ), i will call out to her not to jump and dat i will carry hershe injured her kneecap once when jumping down the sofa. luckily it was not serious. it's more of the ligament misplaced and after limping and resting for a while, she recovered....esp now that she's a bit fatter, i dun really wan her to jump but she still often does that... notti gal! sometimes i wonder if she's a white rabbit or a maltese since she likes to jump so much!

Max383 1 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 hihi max huh you yet to train your ger ger ... what's her name ?? 1stly get some of her pee on tissue , place it among some newpapers,coo her to the newpapers and tell her nicely that her pee place wor ... let her be herself ... then when she really pee there .. gives her pats n tell her good ger or give her some treats ...wish you all the best and good lucks !! !!I did all that... sigh... din work leh.For Chrissy.... if you lock her in an area where there is just her food and sleeping area and the toilet, she will use the toilet. But when you leave her alone in the whole house, she will at times (50-50) forget where to go do her business.She knows she did something wrong, but dono exactly how to do it right. I tried just about everything. I don want to confine her to a limited space when we are not around.... but we don have much of a choice lor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gosh!! I think because mine is a gal... she is more aware of stains from her "business"... so she will avoid stepping on them after. I lay a double layer plastic floor matt in the toilet so when she pees... it flows through and doesn't stain her fur. These days, after a few hours at home, or just before we sleep... we bring her to the toilet, point to the matt and ask her to pee..... this she understands.Well... sometimes, Chrissy surprises us by initiating her "business" on the right place.... in which we reward her with treats and praises. But I guess she can't remember where to go at times.... so when she forgets, she is forced to do it where she feels will get her in the least trouble... the kitchen for example. She doesn't pee in our room or on the carpet, anymore. Thank goodness! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
