Your Maltipoo puppy's high energy levels are normal for its breed and age, but as it grows older, you may notice a decrease in its hyperactivity.
- Maltipoos are known for being lively and playful dogs.
- Most puppies exhibit high energy levels that typically mellow out as they mature.
- A well-exercised and mentally stimulated puppy is key to steering clear of unwanted behavior.
Maltipoos, like many small breeds, tend to be lively and thrive on interaction, play, and regular exercise. It's common for puppies to have abundant energy levels, and for many, this is a phase that naturally settles down as they approach one year of age. As they mature, you should expect some decreased hyperactivity. Regular exercise and mental stimulation help manage their energy and keep them healthy and happy.
