You know, it took me forever. I got him at 3 months old too. And he wasn't trained till 8 months. Today he is 11 months old and suddenly, he is having pee accidents! I dont know about this breed, first time for me, but they are very strange about potty, they really like to go anywhere they want it seems like, reading other people's replies. I had other dogs that were well trained by 4 months max, but this breed is really hard to train. Do you guys know if maltese is hard to train? I know poodles are very good about training. This guy, he learned other things very very quickly, but as far as potty goes, it's his way or no way. I almost gave up at 6 months, then I used the treat method as the last resort, and wah la, that worked. so he is good about going on the pad now, but I dontknow, suddenly he is having accidents... Good luck to both of us...
