The Modern Maltipoo Handbook

Behaviour, training and everyday life, from choosing a puppy to the senior years

Most breed books tell you a Maltipoo is an easy little lap dog. Then you bring one home and meet the real thing.

I've been training dogs for over 30 years, and I wrote this the way I'd talk to you if we were stood in a field together.

What's inside

• Where the Maltipoo came from, and what the Maltese side and the Poodle side bring

• Is a Maltipoo right for you? The honest version, including grooming and time alone

• Kneecaps, livers, eyes, teeth, and why teacup puppies are a worry

• Exercise, home life and your puppy's first week

• Socialisation, adolescence and training foundations

• Barking at the window, small dog manners and the doorbell: Maltipoo training challenges

• Bred to be close, enrichment, family life and other animals

• Common behaviour problems, and how to stop small ones growing

• Maltipoo myths, and living well with your dog into the senior years

There's a Maltipoo checklist at the back to keep coming back to.

Who it's for

Anyone thinking about a Maltipoo, bringing a puppy home, living with a teenager who's forgotten their own name, or sharing life with an older dog.
