House breaking a Maltese just takes patience. Ours is 1 year old and she goes out every 2 hours. As a small puppy we would take her out every 1/2 hour to the same spot in the yard. On the way out the door we would ring a bell that we have hanging on the door knob. She now rings it when she wants outside.
As far as eating... maybe mix her kibble with some scrambled eggs (made with water not milk) or half kibble and have "wet" puppy food. If she doesn't take to it right away, she will eat when she gets hungry enough.
We love our Maltese so very much and we would do it all over again!
