What to Do When Maltese Puppies Are Crying?

Dogs are man's best friend. Just like man, dogs have to be brought up correctly to be the best friend they can be. There's no denying that raising a puppy is a rewarding endeavor but it is also commonly known to have its challenges. Maltese puppies, in particular, are smart dogs that know what they want and what you want from them, making them easy to train in many manners. Crying out in different scenarios is common to all pups, Maltese included.

When and if you decide to crate train your puppy, it will cry; this is almost certain. The most heart-wrenching part of crate training is tolerating the crying that comes with it. However, you can help ease the pain of being alone with a couple of tricks. First, place a few chew toys and a warm, soft bed for the puppy to sleep on. Also, play with the puppy before bed, so that it is more tired and ready to sleep. Finally, you can place a ticking clock under a blanket in or just outside of the crate to simulate mom's heartbeat, which the puppy will recognize.

If your Maltese puppy is crying during the daytime -- when you are around -- chances are it is either hungry or has to go out. This is a behavior that you should always reinforce by taking the puppy outside so that it can go. If you take the puppy out every time it cries, she'll learn two things: (a) always to cry when it needs to go out and (b) not to cry unless it needs to go out.

One bad habit that can develop over the course of raising your Maltese puppy is scrap begging at the table. If you feed your puppy once, it will undo the work of scorning it several times for the same action. It is therefore necessary to be consistent in your approach to disciplining this behavior. If your puppy cries when your family is at dinner, you can ignore it, tell it "no" sternly or move it to another room. Each of these will, over the course of time, teach the puppy that begging isn't going to get it anywhere, anymore.

Sometimes, crying is a sign of distress and should be tended to immediately. A Maltese puppy will make a loud, repetitive, high-pitched yelping noise if it is injured. This could just be from a pinch or from another minor incident, but it is always important to recognize a yelp of pain and monitor the dog to see if it is really hurt. If the dog continues to yelp or seems severely injured, contact a veterinarian immediately.
