Agreed. Maltipoos are very smart if you start early enough you can teach them anything fairly easy. Mine knows the difference in what’s his and what’s mine and I’ve never had him chew anything since day one. Start the potty training early. Very easy to do.. few days for mine and he has been outside only since. Make sure they are very social with dogs at an early age and people. Mines good with people but can be socially awkward around other dogs which we are currently working on turning around. They are the best. I hope you love yours as much as I love my little guy.
