Activities For Malti-Pins
Prepare for unexpected vet bills
Introduction
When a person decides to own a dog, they are not just looking to own a pet. They are, in fact, looking for a best friend and a loyal companion. If you are on the hunt for a small but animated dog that will show you unconditional love and devotion, you might want to consider the Malti-Pin. This designer dog is the result when the warmhearted Maltese with the spunky Miniature Pinscher are cross-bred. Although a relatively new hybrid, Malti-Pins have already earned a reputation for being a great home pet because of their lovable personality and low maintenance requirements. This breed is recommended for single individuals or seniors. But, with early socialization and training, they can also thrive in bigger families and get along with other pets.
Dog Treat Bake
There is nothing more that dogs love than treats. This is why they are one of the most effective rewards when training your pooch. Doggy treats are widely available in all pet stores and as a dog owner, you probably already have a go-to brand. However, a con that comes with commercial treats is that they are usually full of preservatives and fillers as opposed to high-quality and healthy ingredients. A solution to this is to make the dog treats yourself. While it may take more time and effort, making your own treats allows you to control what goes into the recipe. Moreover, you can cater to any dietary restrictions or preferences that your pooch may have.
Double Fetch
Fetch is one of those dog games that just never gets old even after all these years. Apart from the simplicity of the gameplay, it is also an effective way to keep your dog moving. Malti-Pins will definitely benefit from this activity since it can serve as their physical exercise for the day. However, a simple tweak can elevate the typical game of fetch – use two items instead of one. By adding another item, be it a twig, a ball or any other toy, you are essentially making your Malti-Pin put in some extra effort. Not only that, but you also stimulate your dog’s mind by getting them to think fast when retrieving the items.
Bike Ride
When the sun is out and the weather is lovely, it is the perfect time to take your dog out and enjoy the outdoors. The Malti-Pin is not that active though and often prefers around 15 to 30 minutes of walking at a time. If you want to spend some time outdoors without having to tire out your pooch, an alternative would be to bring out your bicycle. This activity is also perfect for cycling enthusiasts who want to include their four-legged friends in their routine. The Malti-Pin is a small dog that can easily be carried around, even while riding a bicycle.

Dogs are always a great source of entertainment and hilarious moments. Malti-Pins have some crazy antics that are viral-worthy. Whip out your phone and take some videos of your pooch doing something totally over-the-top and ridiculous and share it with your family and friends or on social media.
