Maltipoos are very social, and have lots of energy, which is sometimes described as being “hyper.” Plenty of exercise and lots of love and attention can help to expel some of your Maltipoo’s excess energy.

We recommend the maximum length of time you leave any dog alone is 4 hours. Maltipoos should not be left in a small crate for long periods and must have access to fresh drinking water at all times.

Puppies need lots of socialization before being left on their own, otherwise owners increase the risk of separation anxiety which can result in destructive behavior excessive barking. Puppies also need to relieve themselves more often than an adult dog, at least once an hour when housebreaking.

Maltipoo puppies are energetic and enthusiastic but can be a challenge to train. Owners are encouraged to do their research before adopting to determine whether they are up to the task of training a Maltipoo.

 Like all dogs, Maltipoos are susceptible to a number of health issues that new owners need to know about, like Hip Dysplasia or Luxating Patella.
