Max the Maltese and his tricks

[@finallyitsed2191]

This dog is obviously very intelligent, but I think he is more motivated by his eagerness to please his owner. What a wonderful little personality!

[@bobodum6269]

Finally it's Ed Thanks for the kind comment. He is the best dog anyone could ask for and yes, he truly wants to please us every day. But he LOVES any kind of treat and I have been working with him to not bark so much. He just gets so excited he has to speak his mind! LOL. I totally dread the day he leaves us and doubt we will ever be able to replace him, but Maltese are the absolute best.

[@finallyitsed2191]

@@bobodum6269 I think our pets are a reflection of who we are. Your's is obviously loved and I know exactly what you mean when you say Maltese are the absolute best. In my case, my bull/lab was the best, and for the same reason. You do realize, they own us, not the other way around. :)

@@bobodum6269 I trained my Maltese on the barking by saying stop & tapping on the long part of the snout, not black of the nose nose. Wait till they bark as soon as they stop , say stop loudly ,& tap the area. Reward them. Now they are going to bark for a treat ,put pointer finger on nose until they stop reward. Next after a few days it should be enough to say stop & point finger . Mine now barks a woop & then looks at me for a signal , finger pointing at them means stop. Closed hand free to bark like they want.

[@DreddTheLaw509]

I had a Maltese named Pooh growing up. He made it to the old age of 16, live a long happy life. Been 5 years since that dog left me and I still miss him every day. He was a clever little one just like this guy.

[@bobodum6269]

So sorry for your loss. I dread the day Max leaves us as he is a HUGE part of our life.

[@blazefairchild465]

I got one for my 13 birthday. He passed after I was married & had 2 kids. I still miss & have tears in my eyes & my kids are long time married. Maltese are special dogs. I even raised them for a while & after some of the pups went on to become show dogs , I began to think about it. I decided to stop breeding to sell because I thought People were putting too much into the dogs looks & not enough into the dogs comfort. I have had 7 Maltese over my life time & after the first few litters , I only had pup's to resupply my family , siblings & cousins that way I could check on them all the time. This way I could be sure they were all treated well.

[@damienpe3357]

@@bobodum6269 Like yourself, I had always dread the day that my Maltese will leave us. And that day came exactly one month ago. We had to make the painful decision to put down our Maltese of 15 years. We missed him a lot and I have been searching youtube for Maltese videos and came across yours. Max did remind me of my Maltese - intelligent, loves treats, gets impatient and barks when you have a treat in hand. I had been rewatching the videos I took of my dog and wished I had taken more videos/pictures of him, probably should have done a youtube or instagram account for him.

[@bo1145]

@@damienpe3357 Just seeing this post as I dont check the comments as often as I should. So sorry for your loss 😞Our Max has really aged the past few years and is currently recovering from a pretty bad leg injury (ACL if thats what its called on a dog) But he is still eager to do tricks for his treats but we have to limit the tricks that would not impact his recovery. Hopefully he will return to 100% soon !!

My family had a Maltese named Muffin for 15 years. It’s been over 10 years since she passed away. Out of all 4 dogs my family has had over the years, Muffin and I bonded the closest. I had her through most of elementary school and all the way through high school. Maltese are incredibly loving, loyal, spirited, and dedicated dogs. A little stubborn, can be a smidge neurotic, and they can be divas, but I adore the breed!

We just to put our 16 yr old Maltese down. I never cried so much. Watching this video reminds me of when she was a pup. Her name was Cari. I carry her dog tags on my keychain now. I loved her so much...still do.

[@bobodum6269]

So sorry to hear about Cari's passing. I can not imagine our life without Max as he is the total center of our household. I hate to see these posts about peoples devastating losses but in a way they remind me that Max wont be with us forever and it makes you appreciate them even more. We almost lost him a couple months ago when he ate something in the house or yard that was toxic to him. Fortunately we realized something was wrong and rushed him to the vet where he spent about three days in ICU with meds and fluids to flush his system out and save him. His numbers from the initial blood work were so bad we did not think he would survive. We thank God every day that he survived ! I hope you get a new one as they are the best dogs in the world ! Take care.

How did you teach him all that? I have a Maltese that will sit and lay down and shake. Did you teach yours before a year old? Did you use rewards?

[@bobodum6269]

We taught him a few basic tricks his first year and rewarded him with treats every time he did them. Then we started adding tricks as time went along. He picked up on them very fast as we also did hand gestures along with the voice commands. Sadly, he has really aged since this video and at 14 years old, has gone deaf in one ear and has trouble hearing. But he still picks up on the hand gestures for most of his tricks. Brilliant and amazing dog and we treasure every day with him. Just be patient, reward their tricks with treats and praise. He aims to please us and takes great pride in making us happy.

[@lynnann137]

I am so sorry that your sweet boy is deaf now. He sure is smart and very sweet. My Enzo is a year and a half and we have mastered a couple more tricks. They sure are a smart breed. Enzo loves to watch your video and tries to mimic your dog. It’s so cute to watch him follow along. He goes to the TV and waits for me to turn it on so he can watch. I haven’t tried to use hand gestures but might give that a try, too. Thank you so much for sharing your video with us and for replying to my comment. May you have many more precious years with your sweet boy.

So cute! Wish my little guy knew all those tricks. All he knows is Stay, bedtime (runs to my bedroom and lays on his pillow until I come to bed and put him in bed with me), drop it and leave it (if he gets ahold of something he shouldn’t he drops it and won’t touch it so I can get it away from him).

[@Sahiyena11]

It's crazy weird how smart and trainable Maltese pups are. I have an older girl I adopted as a rescue and she bonded almost uncomfortably close to me and she is so eager to please. She watches my daily routine and learned what time is what. I have a cigarette before I shower while I take her out to run in the yard and she has memorized the time and tbe second she hears the rustle of a cig pack comes running and barking only at that specific time of day. I never really even taught her sit but she knows it. You can say "raise the roof" and she stands. She jumps on command and now she gives me high fives on command. Also she knows the difference in routine on the days I bring her to my buddy's pad to play with his dogs. Like she somehow notices I'm packing my bag or something and starts jumping at the door all excited

[@bobodum6269]

LOL. You are exactly right !! They are so smart and creatures of habit. I jokingly call Max "RainMan" as he does the same thing as your dog. I am sitting here eating some Pizza and he is barking at me because we usually give him a small piece of the end crust and he knows exactly what I am eating. We are big University of Georgia fans and there is a saying among the fans of "Respecting the G" which is the G logo. So in one afternoon, we taught him to run across the room and sit in the middle of a rug with a big G in the middle. I will try to post a video of this soon. Thanks for your comments!

[@Garymayo]

Ours does a neat trick, you politely ask them to do something, anything you want, and they both give us the skunk eye and they go do what they want. Lol.

[@bobodum6269]

Haha. Hilarious. They can be hard headed as they are so smart. I will have to post some new videos of some other ticks. Had a scare last week and almost lost my buddy to liver failure. After $1,400 vet bill with intensive care overnight, hes doing much better. Not sure what happened, but he ate something (Vet thinks it was a Tylenol or something we dropped on floor) and it about shut him down. Fingers crossed he will fully recover

Thanks you for the compliment!! Highly recommend the Maltese and you will not regret. Just make sure to set the ground rules early on and they are so smart, they will take it from there. Great family dog, but ours is not really socialized much with other dogs, so he can be a little moody and protective around other dogs. I think its all based on what they are used to on a normal basis. Go for it and just make sure the breeder has a good reputation and get references, etc.
