I recently adopted an adult male Maltese. He been stay in the cage at the pet shop for more than 8 months, he is now 10 months old. The main problem is, he doesn't know where to pee & poo, he did it everywhere and whenever he feel to. No matter how we beat or scold him, he seem don't understand. Is there a way to train him? as he is already 10 months old and been stay in the cage for so long.

Hi Crystalruby,
Try to confine him at the area where you want him to pee/poo soon after every meal, and only release him after he pee/poo and praise him good dog soon after he pee/poo.
other time its very hard to know if he is sniffing place to pee/poo unless you observe him closely. and if he pee/poo at the wrong place, just scold him bad dog, and clean up the place and put the dirt at the place you want him to pee/poo for moment then only clean it up.
This is what i did to my furkid. i even talk to her in human language and ask her too do business at the right place, she seems to understand it :)
and i think 10 months old is still a puppy, don't give up training him, i think still can be rectified :)
