I kept hearing “this is not a couch potato breed”. I already knew this as I have whiskey and Freedom but I thought it would be fun to see what happened.

The joy of having a high energy dog is that you have a partner to play with! They get you out of the house, out of your head and they get you moving. If you’re sick or extremely tired or the weather is brutal they will stay imside with you…(big plus, they are not wussy about going potty in the rain) yep, they will keep hinting that it would be so much fun to go out and PLAY 😂 My GS/BM cross is the best dog I ever had and she’s a rescue who was given up at one because she was too high energy. She was in rescue for 6 mos and knew nothing, didn’t know how to play ball, no recall, you couldn’t catch her and she was not housebroken. In FIVE months she knows everything in Obedience 2 very well, has a great recall and trains in other things I see on KZhead in French Ring so she trains in French and English and is hands down the most fun dog I ever had and if she had her way there would be no stop button. She’s a 2 yrs old energizer bunny who knows we don’t play in the house (though she asks with a ball in her mouth lol) and hangs out in her crate in my bedroom on the days I’m overtired…cause I’m 68 and that’s a thing.
I have three mals and each one is so different in their day to day attitudes. One was willing to wait until its time to go out, the second will be lazy then switch on immediately, the third is a ticking time bomb, moan, whinge and more moaning. It just shows not all mals are the same some are more hyper than others.
Aww Whiskey is so cute and Freedom is stunning They are an active breed a working breed. You have trained them & given them daily activity which they need. Yes are right Need daily activity.
We have 1.5 yr old malinois and he is a couch potato. He will sleep the whole day on the couch and loves his naps
You are doing an excellent job with them. Your messages could help people considering adopting or buying a Malinois and give them a clear idea of the work required.
My mal absolutely loves laying around and doing nothing!
Hi, my malinios is a couch potato. She has adjusted to my life style very well.
Not necessarily something to be fond of, does she get enough exercise in a day ?
@@JoseVega-mh2wemines is half ish,he’s chillin all day but I walk him 2 hours and also play with him when I’m off work he goes with me everywhere on my days off.
Mine too
Your dog's it's wonderful! You invest so much time, love and patience! Thanks for your work and nice videos, wish you and your big family good luck🙏💖🙂
My girl is quiet chilled she gets two good walks a day and some mental stimulation and if am on the couch she’s either on the couch next to me or on another knocking out plenty of Zzzzs she’s definitely not full on all day
Good video! With enough play time we get plenty of down time with our 3 mals but they are not couch potatoes. Play or work for 30-45 minutes they will nap about 1.5 to 2 hours, then wake up and start again. If it's raining or we are sick they just mope and sleep knowing they can't play like normal, mals are very intelligent and adaptable in that sense, but after a few days of this they get anxious and pent up. But overall, if you want to rest, you gotta put in the work with mals.
Very well said!
This is exactly like my Athena, a Belgian Malinois x German Shepard, who from what I’m seeing acts identical to a full Mal. We have to really work her then we get a nice long nap and it starts again. When she naps she so cuddly and right next to me.
Same with our Mal. He plays hard, then naps hard for a few hours LOL. Yes the pent up days are the worse for him, he can get through 1 pent up day, but the next day he's extra wild, and you will get up and play with him one way or another 🤣
Yes, I agree, their napping is recharging, getting ready! 🐾
i have a 15 week old black female belgian, she in awesome. she is my new girl. like this channel.
You always keep it real with your BM’s. I have only one 5 month old and I can tell you, he’s no couch potato. But I use to be one! 😂
Hahaha…my point too 😂 They are wonderful for getting people to stay physically and mentally healthy.
❤
WoW they are good! I know they can give you a little break but after a couple of hours Luna would be loudly voicing her disgust. Pat yourself on the back BIG TIME, you have done an awesome job with their training. Blessings for them and you!
It doesn't rain much in AZ but when it does we still get out for a walk and in the yard for fetch. She can be a couch potato if need be, we taught her "settle", and we keep high value, long last snacks for down days, ut they don't happen often.
My malinois have adjusted to my lifestyle. they can be couch potatoes but I always let them roam everywhere around the house and patios. my female malinois Lucy I always have the door of my terrace open for her ,but the moment they see me grab the car keys or my bike helmet the jump and want to go with me.
❤ prachtig opgeleid die honden ...👌
My dog loved this video😂. Free is a Dutch, no? I live on a lake and have an Old Town Pack canoe set up for my guy but my nosy, busybody, gossip neighbors complain about leash covenants whenever I take him out. They also warn delivery drivers that I have a loose, aggressive animal on the prowl (not true) and complain about his barking (he’s very quiet). *sigh*😢
Great advice x 🐾
😺 s thinking: I hope these pups don't become permanent coach potatoes because, inside this house is my domain and I expect no competition.
thanks for sharing... loved the entertainment...
Hey, they got to make a living. Imagine being deprived of our electronics, bet there be some whining and pacing going on! Great video, good topic. Keep em busy!
I have 2 and they are perfectly fine being couch potatoes and are destructive or mouthy. I tell everyone mine are broken because they act more like old labs.
Yes. If I tell my malinois to sleep she sleeps as long as I'm beside her...
😍
My Mal she is eight months old she is with me every day an will lay around the house but she is up n down all day an night . She out side an she loves in side. She's half German shepherd ..
Nice 👍🙂☺️🐱💯🎂
❤❤❤❤❤
Yes mine is laying on top of me right now
❤️❤️❤️💖💖
Didn't know you had a German shepherd but
no dog should be a couch potato!
Amen!
Definitely Mals aren't couch potatoes!! But proper training you can get them to understand quiet time!!
For the record leaning on the couch is not couching! And since I did not see any Malinois on a couch therefor they are not couch potatoes.
Exactly…. They most definitely are NOT couch potatoes!
Mine will chill for about 10 hours then it in leash mayhem. If I try to get two days of chill it not happening.
My mali girl ate my couch.
Will they do bit work
I will not be doing bite work with them.
Where is puppy ?😮😢
