Dog owners sometimes compare their relationship with that of parents and children. A Belgian Malinois requires such dedication, responsibility and guidance that it is probably about as close as a dog owner can get to raising a child. I wish I had it in me. They are beautiful dogs!

Any working dog needs a knowledgeable owner. Most people want a dog that they can feel protected but do not know the first thing about dogs. That is one of the reasons we have so many shelter dogs in the US. A lot of people get a dog that is too much for them to handle and or care for. But lets also look at the Breeder’s selling dogs just for profit and not the health of the dog or a responsible owner but the moneys. Poor dogs.

Just found one Belgian Malinois on a highway near the beach while driving. Well, he found me... I could see his bones so decided to go and buy a couple of dog food pouches, went back, fed him and even though my wife and I have a 4 months baby, we couldn’t say no. We took him to the vet and he was a 6 months dog, dehydrated and hungry pup. After 2 weeks he’s a happy, lovely and energetic pup, and I’m training him for basic commands. After 3 days he learned how to seat, and to follow me. I love the dog (Blacky) and he loves me 🤣 (wife gets jealous). Just have to teach him to be kind with the baby cause when he sees her, he tends to softly bite my babies feet, but nothing to worry about. Best decision ever!

Not only is it a wast of the dogs potential if you don't work with them the way you do, but it's so miserable for the poor dog to be forced to live such a sedentary life when they know they can do so much more for you.

I got my malnois Bruce at 8 months old. Although he was house trained he had bad manners like chewing and counter surfing but really these dogs learn so fast and within 2 weeks he was done. I literally walked him between 35 and 40 miles a week. He's 2 now and when I say lets go for a walk, he hides. I literally walked him so much he hates it. He is not hyper at all. On July 1st I got him an 8 week old sister called Bella. We have had her 2 weeks and she is just about house trained AT 10 WEEKS Old!!! She also sits when I put her food in the bowl until I say she can get it. These dogs are easy to train, they are so smart and learn fast. I will never own another breed!!

What a happy malinois to have such dedicated people. To all the people who want to only stress how "hard" these dogs are to keep: Look at this dogs stress levels - they're very reasonable! I'd imagine that's because there's such balance in the training and everyday life, there's no need to pant, whine, bark or look for something to bite. Many malinoises that are shown here on KZhead with loads of activities, are not necessarily happy and balanced. Many of them are stressed. This video was a joy, thank you!

My mali girl mellowed out too, at about 2 years old. Really surprised me, she is my first mal, and the first working breed dog I've had that calmed down before at least 7 years of age. I expected with a Malinois there would be no off switch until they get much older. I think it might be partly because she is a female. Still ready to go any time, to do anything outdoors, but she definitely has an off switch and she is only 2 1/2 years old.

@MarkandTreat7 жыл бұрын
My dog is trained in similar way as yours but without an e-collar because she is quite sensitive to harsh corrections. And there is nothing wrong with using e-collar as long as the owner uses it RESPONSIBLY. And that means that you can use it, if you know how, for corrections and corrections only, when the dog already knows, what he/she is supposed to do, and never for teaching it commands. That way you can have a happy dog who is not afraid but still works beacuse it wants to and not because it is afraid. And great job with your malinois, btw. I wish someday I can get my own mal and be able to train it as good as yours is trained :)

In my experience (40 years of training) those same people, who love to tell you YOU are wrong, have the most uncontrolled and obnoxious dogs. They have opinions that you must agree with, but very little experience or basis for their opinion. It's just right because they say so and you are wrong because you don't do it their way. Your results speak for themselves. That is one lucky dog, well behaved, very happy. Lots of different types of training so he gets all kinds of experiences. Their dogs are trained in 6+ different skillsets. Really. NOT. I was really impressed that you go to that length to give him mental and physical stimulation like that. I train in a field full of elk almost every day. Those 100 hundred elk weigh over 700 lbs and could care less about clickers or the which P or R was used. They will just stomp a dog to death and I have seen it happen to other people's dogs. I also use an e-collar as a safety backup on that field. It's like an airbag. If it's not used I don't even notice it's there. But I want it in my car. And hell yes it hurts when it goes off. Ask anyone that's happened to. Then ask if they wish it wasn't in the car. I rarely comment on videos, but had to on this one. You have done a wonderful job.

You have your collar in the wrong place. It needs to be up higher on their neck. Right at the jugular. Believe me, if you place the collar up high, they cannot pull and just a few jerks will get their attention. I have trained dogs, without treats with this method with total success. It takes 5 minutes to correct the pulling behavior doing it this way. It's really about training the humans to put the collar in the effective place. Just try it! It works for even the toughest cases. I learned directly from the "dog whisperer himsef", Ceasar Milan. Try it! And your dog won't take you for a walk anymore!

I see this is from a year ago and just wondering which way you decided? They can be very headstrong and one must be a confident handler, not resorting to screaming, yelling, or other drastic punishments. Emotion doesn't belong in dog training and it's tough for many to do, but that would be my top tip. Consistency is the key and yes, they really do need to be part of an owner's active lifestyle that includes these dogs as part of your daily life with few exceptions...daily training and fun sessions and plenty of walks and socialization with humans and other animals...especially children (in rescue you may find a dog matched to your own lifestyle....not all as in any breed are high energy, but most of them are and in the wrong hands can bring out an aggressive side). Confident and firm guidance with appropriate punishment is the way to go or they will get very bored, naughty and potentially destructive. They need structured activities and lots of socialization!!

Wouldn't conditioning the dog to do commands by treats throughout its adulthood make the dog rely on treats after every trained behavior? Looking to get a Mali.
@patricklus776 жыл бұрын
That's a good question, because the answer is not that straight forward. The quick answer is that we actually conditioned to dog to think that we have an endless supply of treats. Even when we don't have any, the dog will still do the obedience thinking it will just get a larger check with a bonus later (because we are good for it). Here is the result of this system. She is trialing with no collars, no treats or reward of any type and a field filled with distractions and people. kzhead.info/sun/nqlqk7dobpmYonA/bejne.html

Common sense dog training the lineage from both parents are pure Belgian Malinois, but we suspect there was a German Shepherd dog in the mix somewhere. Now that she is older, we see more similarities in her structure to the GSD.

How does one learn to “BE A GOOD OWNER” especially when the dog is to be of service to its handicapped owner?
Malinois only for active and dedicated owner.
Any working dog needs a knowledgeable owner. Most people want a dog that they can feel protected but do not know the first thing about dogs. That is one of the reasons we have so many shelter dogs in the US. A lot of people get a dog that is too much for them to handle and or care for. But lets also look at the Breeder’s selling dogs just for profit and not the health of the dog or a responsible owner but the moneys. Poor dogs.
joe Pz exactly!!! Words of wisdom right there
Not always true. Got a malinois, and he is a house dog. He can just lay down all night, and he's fine with it. Its what you teach them. If you go biking or running with him a few times a week, Ofcourse he is gonne have alot of energy, if they learn to just play sometimes and then chill the fuck down, they will do that too.
Raising an akita inu puppy right now and it takes a lot of time and dedication. Many dog owners buy dog just to stay at home and cuddle, dogs require much more than that.
@@LikeABawzs your dog isnt bred to have high drive and energy then.. you can rewire them. If i didnt work with my boy hell go crazy. you cant alter genetics temperamentally

Just found one Belgian Malinois on a highway near the beach while driving. Well, he found me... I could see his bones so decided to go and buy a couple of dog food pouches, went back, fed him and even though my wife and I have a 4 months baby, we couldn’t say no. We took him to the vet and he was a 6 months dog, dehydrated and hungry pup. After 2 weeks he’s a happy, lovely and energetic pup, and I’m training him for basic commands. After 3 days he learned how to seat, and to follow me. I love the dog (Blacky) and he loves me 🤣 (wife gets jealous). Just have to teach him to be kind with the baby cause when he sees her, he tends to softly bite my babies feet, but nothing to worry about. Best decision ever!
Same history happened to us!!!! ( minus baby;) We think someone threw him out because he was hard to handle. After 3 weeks I calm him down!!! In 3 weeks!!!
Such a great breed to work with, if you can match their high drive! Good job on your Malinois, he's obviously well trained and loved.
As a puppy, her prey drive was actually low compared to her litter mates, so we trained obedience with food. Even with low prey drive she was still a handful. At 18 months her prey drive finally came out and we can tire her out with frisbee. Thanks for watching!

I love when people know what they're getting into when choosing a breed like this and are willing to give them what they need. Not only is it a wast of the dogs potential if you don't work with them the way you do, but it's so miserable for the poor dog to be forced to live such a sedentary life when they know they can do so much more for you. Your dog is gorgeous and it thrills me to see you treat him/her right! ❤️

Unfortunately My step dad caged his Belgian malinois for the rest of her life
My favorite companion, hands down, was the Malinois I had as a kid. Perfectly loving and funny as a family dog, stunning and disciplined as a protector, smart, communicative, was great at playing Frisbee even if he, eventually, tore the Frisbee apart. I miss him everyday.
My favorite part of the video was 3:29 where the pup laid down and rolled over to dodge. Super graceful and agile.
I got my malnois Bruce at 8 months old. Although he was house trained he had bad manners like chewing and counter surfing but really these dogs learn so fast and within 2 weeks he was done. I literally walked him between 35 and 40 miles a week. He's 2 now and when I say lets go for a walk, he hides. I literally walked him so much he hates it. He is not hyper at all. On July 1st I got him an 8 week old sister called Bella. We have had her 2 weeks and she is just about house trained AT 10 WEEKS Old!!! She also sits when I put her food in the bowl until I say she can get it. These dogs are easy to train, they are so smart and learn fast. I will never own another breed!!
Our puppy is cross breed with Akita , but so clever . house trained at 14 weeks . easy peasy .he is so clever .
Yeah all big dogs like this are, Labradors, GSD, Mallinois.. All happy to spend their time with you and learn new things.

What a happy malinois to have such dedicated people. To all the people who want to only stress how "hard" these dogs are to keep: Look at this dogs stress levels - they're very reasonable! I'd imagine that's because there's such balance in the training and everyday life, there's no need to pant, whine, bark or look for something to bite. Many malinoises that are shown here on KZhead with loads of activities, are not necessarily happy and balanced. Many of them are stressed. This video was a joy, thank you!

Do they learn fast? I have pits and they are very smart but so stubborn training is more on going than not. Especially with the APBT. the Staffie, not so much. He isn't near as stubborn. Love the malanoise but don't really want another dog that requires constant training.
@@sandynoland3474 every dog needs constant training especially such a high energy breed like the malinois. My dog is only a chihuahua/shih Tzu mix and not a particularly high energy dog. She gets training every day plus her walk plus enrichment. There is always something new to train and it keeps her out of mischief and makes her use her brain. If you describe your dog as stubborn, you aren't using a high enough reinforcer.

@@talaverajr391 Walking 2-4 miles a day doesn't do much for a Mals energy level. Kick a tennis ball for 4 hours everyday, then take for a hike/walk. When ya get home, kick the tennis ball again :)
Equivalent energy of a Border Collie... Agree...do your homework!
got one in 2016, saved him from a bad breeder, he had a bad skin condition, but we fixed him in a few months, best decision ever, he is an amazing dog, a great companion, a very well trained guard dog and has a family who loves him and gives him as much active time as possible
What a great owner with continuous efforts and what a great dog!!!
Brought tears to my eyes seeing the amount of love and time training Great job. 😍
I just got my Belgian Malinois puppy today. SO glad I saw your video. Makes me inspired to take good care of him. Thanks for this!
Don't listen to the people who are talking about choke chains and e-collars on here. Dogs are pack drive animals and those are two very good ways of utilizing positive punishment for dogs if utilized the proper way. I would say to work on your marker training a bit 😉 but all in all the pup looks great! As a trainer I can respect someone who is using the Malinois properly! Dogs definitely living a happy life.
Thank you for the support! We definitely do what is best for the dogs. This includes a safe, happy and productive life. We're constantly trying to improve our dog training as well!
Wow! How amazing to see such a good inspirational training video with positive reinforcement and reward based training. Thank you for sharing!
Precious! Greetings from Brazil.
You guys are now two of my real life hero's, you set an example of how to be a wonderful, educated, responsible, loving Mal (or any type of dog for that matter) owner! Thank you for sharing this video.
Just got a 2 month old one. Can't wait to make these memories and I'm only two days in 😁
Please share your video with us when it is available! Have fun and good luck!

How is ur dog doing?
How's your dog now?
how is it now?
Very well done 👍🏽 he reminds me of my girl. I miss when she was a pup. But shes all mellowed out now and does very well at responding to my commands. Its amazing the kind of bond we can create with dogs. Theres times where we will look at one another and she will know stuff like its time to go to her bed or time for a walk, etc. Just amazing.
My mali girl mellowed out too, at about 2 years old. Really surprised me, she is my first mal, and the first working breed dog I've had that calmed down before at least 7 years of age. I expected with a Malinois there would be no off switch until they get much older. I think it might be partly because she is a female. Still ready to go any time, to do anything outdoors, but she definitely has an off switch and she is only 2 1/2 years old.
The effort and energy they put into this video alone shows how much they love this dog. So much attention and playing and work. A malinois' dream! Beautiful video, and doing these things is my dream! Thumbs up, thank you(:
Thank you!
Heart warming !! Thank you so much.
Beautiful video. It's amazing to see how much dedication went into this dog since all showed clips include mental stimulation, activities and very diverse and sometimes demanding training, so basically everything this breed needs. The result is a beautifully raised well tempered dog!
Wish I had time and skills to work with Malinois like this. Such a great video👍👏👌
- Love her strutting when walking next to the wall!❤❤❤
We just had 8 of these beautiful and protective dog's!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I loved this video! I just rescued a GSD/Malinois mix and he's been a handful but so easy to train. Great dogs if you have the time!
Thank you!
TIME is the key word!! I LOVE MINE!!
I just wanna say thank you. I’ve been on the look out for a consistent training method for a while. Your method of training showed in this 5 min vid. I took what you were doing and applied it to my own situation. After a month of non stop consistently training I am proud to report that my wife is now trained and obedient. Thank you ❤️
LOL!
😭
I actually laughed out loud, was not expecting the ending!
Fabulous work, we can see the force between you and your malinois. I love that so much, it's very beautiful.
That warms my heart and soul. You are truly amazing dog owners. I was gonna get a malinois but ended up rescuing a mountain cur from a kill shelter. God bless
He worcc, He protecc, But most importantly, He must worcc
Wow...what a beautiful dog!
Love these animals. They are not for owners who want to just chill. They are workers- loyal- and incredible in the right hands. ❤️❤️❤️
The dedication & hard work is amazing & has morphed this pup into a well behaved dog, excellent job!
You just can’t beat a mal I got one in my lap sleeping as we speak.
Epitome of the perfect dog owners
I have two mals myself, I miss the puppy days but they are so smart. My dogs never have been on a leash I trained them to always be at my side and they go everywhere with me! Mals gotta be the most intelligent breed on the planet! Loving, loyal, and protective
==God Bless You== What an adorable dog. I had to say goodbye to two late last year and I came across some photos and videos of them this evening. I was in tears and I miss them so so much. Make sure you give your doggo lots of love and to whomever reads this, do the same. They are truly a blessing in our lives and companions we never deserved despite their never-ending loyalties and love. Thanks for this... It warmed my heart, Look after her and don't be too much of a taskmaster.
Love malinois I have a 6 month malinois pup
Have fun!
Phat Ballz can you hug your mali from me pls.....thank you. from Philippines
“Will work for food”
Man I love watching malinois work. So much energy. If I had the time to dedicate toward training one like this I’d definitely get one.
Best breed of dog I've ever had! Loyal and very smart !
You guys must be proud owner!
I have a Belgian Malinois. She’s a crazy one alright. xD
wow, this is awesome. I've been with my german shepherd for a little over a year and your journey really reminds me of mine with my gsd. beautiful malinois
That is a great two years for you and your Mal! Great job!!!! Thanks for sharing
LOL seeing someone else have verbal cues in Mandarin :-)
Such an excellent and talented Mal. Really enjoyed the dedication and persistence of the trainer's.
That strut while heeling against the wall at the beginning of the video put a smile on my face.
Aww that's awesomeee. Wish I was more persistent with my Malinois' training. Didn't put much attention to it and now he's just kinda crazy... Awesome dog tho, love him to death.
you can start training anytime!! don't be afraid to put yourself up for the task
Kudos for putting up with all the idiots in the comment section who think that e-collar/prongs have no use in dog training. Anyone can tell that is a happy dog.
Thank you! Half the time we just want to tell these people to go away and let the result speak for itself. If the dogs are happy, what is the problem? The other half wants to confront these bullies just to educate readers about proper use of tools. The irony is, there are also people who tell us we use too many treats... LOL. Thanks for the comment!
My dog is trained in similar way as yours but without an e-collar because she is quite sensitive to harsh corrections. And there is nothing wrong with using e-collar as long as the owner uses it RESPONSIBLY. And that means that you can use it, if you know how, for corrections and corrections only, when the dog already knows, what he/she is supposed to do, and never for teaching it commands. That way you can have a happy dog who is not afraid but still works beacuse it wants to and not because it is afraid. And great job with your malinois, btw. I wish someday I can get my own mal and be able to train it as good as yours is trained :)
Thank you for the comment, and we agree with you! We consider ourselves balanced trainers, but we rely heavily on +R and -P, we use +P and -R sparingly, and only during the proofing stage. All her foundation was built via luring, shaping, and capturing. She wears her e-collar whenever we are outdoors as a back-up.
Mark and Treat have to say animal community is made up of too many people who think they know it all and act as though they're the moral compass of the world
In my experience (40 years of training) those same people, who love to tell you YOU are wrong, have the most uncontrolled and obnoxious dogs. They have opinions that you must agree with, but very little experience or basis for their opinion. It's just right because they say so and you are wrong because you don't do it their way. Your results speak for themselves. That is one lucky dog, well behaved, very happy. Lots of different types of training so he gets all kinds of experiences. Their dogs are trained in 6+ different skillsets. Really. NOT. I was really impressed that you go to that length to give him mental and physical stimulation like that. I train in a field full of elk almost every day. Those 100 hundred elk weigh over 700 lbs and could care less about clickers or the which P or R was used. They will just stomp a dog to death and I have seen it happen to other people's dogs. I also use an e-collar as a safety backup on that field. It's like an airbag. If it's not used I don't even notice it's there. But I want it in my car. And hell yes it hurts when it goes off. Ask anyone that's happened to. Then ask if they wish it wasn't in the car. I rarely comment on videos, but had to on this one. You have done a wonderful job.
This little guy is smarter than some people I know. And they give you unconditional love.
why would anyone dislike this, let alone over a 1000 people?? this girl has lovely eyes too!
I love women that love dogs
I had a Belgian Malinois.... She was hit and killed by a car on Sept 2nd.... Miss you pretty girl
Mine on Aug 16 ,was hit by a bike . She was 11months old .We called her Lisa .
Katerina Wetzel sorry for your loss
I lost my Belgian malinois a week ago and it was the saddest day of my life. These dogs are truly amazing and you will never forget about them and it is awful when you have to deal with the pain of losing them.
I had one. He was retired police dog. He gave his life protecting my family from thieves trying to break in my house when I lived in South Africa. I still think of him even though it happened almost 15 years ago. He was family.
Great work!!!!!
Thank you!
I can't even walk my dog on a leash without him choking himself.
If you can have food readily available you can easily train your dog not to do that. There’s a bunch of videos on here to guide you! 😁
I would recommend informing yourself about operant conditioning and trying what works best for you out of these methods. If you will try using aversive tools I'd highly recommend consulting a dog trainer or a seminar beforehand, so nothing goes wrong and nobody is hurt.
You have your collar in the wrong place. It needs to be up higher on their neck. Right at the jugular. Believe me, if you place the collar up high, they cannot pull and just a few jerks will get their attention. I have trained dogs, without treats with this method with total success. It takes 5 minutes to correct the pulling behavior doing it this way. It's really about training the humans to put the collar in the effective place. Just try it! It works for even the toughest cases. I learned directly from the "dog whisperer himsef", Ceasar Milan. Try it! And your dog won't take you for a walk anymore!
Beautiful dog and a beautiful video. Love the way you got all of it in 5 mins while still keeping the essential bits of training.
Great example of caring and responsible dog owners who know and practice the value of proper dog training.
Tried to train my pup but she was more interested in the treats and other dogs to learn the commands and got kicked out of dog training school lol
I think you need to find a trainer that uses motivational methods like FOOD to train your pup. Dog that is highly interested in food is very very easy to train.
I'd recommend any of the Michael Ellis videos on the leerburg.com website. They have trained many working dogs for different careers.
Patience
koolerpure , I have to agree about the treats! My male puppy was house trained in about a day but I say 2 days once he knew he would be rewarded for going potty outside. It was golden from then on. Treat training. I trained my girl back and down on Halloween 🎃 night! Treats are great for training.
These dogs have a drive like no other dog. Ask me how I know.
how do you know?
You're doing a great job. It always makes me happy to see loving people who know how to raise these dogs, and what a beauty you guys have in that one.
Great to see these excellent owners giving a Malinois all the stimulation,exercise and socialization they need.
for a while I have wanted to adopt a Malinois and I have done some research. most people recommend that for this breed you be an experienced dog owner. I have had dogs all my life but they have been smaller breeds, all high energy dogs. should that still be a reason to reconsider getting one?
Get in contact with a Malinois rescue, they will will determine if you are ready for one of their dogs and then match you with one that will have the highest chance of being with you forever. Good Luck!
The Cinema Pot yea, I've want to get a malinois too, for security when I'm living an apartment after completing my extra 2 yrs in a university, but I've did some research about them, saying that they thrive in working and it's for people that are willing to dedicate there time for them. And having a dog with high energy is probably not the best dog for me especially if I'm looking for a first dog, maybe an American bulldog is probably the best choice for me.
I see this is from a year ago and just wondering which way you decided? They can be very headstrong and one must be a confident handler, not resorting to screaming, yelling, or other drastic punishments. Emotion doesn't belong in dog training and it's tough for many to do, but that would be my top tip. Consistency is the key and yes, they really do need to be part of an owner's active lifestyle that includes these dogs as part of your daily life with few exceptions...daily training and fun sessions and plenty of walks and socialization with humans and other animals...especially children (in rescue you may find a dog matched to your own lifestyle....not all as in any breed are high energy, but most of them are and in the wrong hands can bring out an aggressive side). Confident and firm guidance with appropriate punishment is the way to go or they will get very bored, naughty and potentially destructive. They need structured activities and lots of socialization!!
Wouldn't conditioning the dog to do commands by treats throughout its adulthood make the dog rely on treats after every trained behavior? Looking to get a Mali.
That's a good question, because the answer is not that straight forward. The quick answer is that we actually conditioned to dog to think that we have an endless supply of treats. Even when we don't have any, the dog will still do the obedience thinking it will just get a larger check with a bonus later (because we are good for it). Here is the result of this system. She is trialing with no collars, no treats or reward of any type and a field filled with distractions and people. kzhead.info/sun/nqlqk7dobpmYonA/bejne.html
That's wild. Thank you!!
Excellent video showing the most crucial part in training a dog. Time! You guys obviously put that element into the development of yours. Congratulations!
Wonderful, thank you! I cared 12 hours a day my property COVID a Mali, best awesome dog Willy!
You make it look like a docile breed. very bad for the ignorant dog lovers who like what they see here
It kinda is, you should probably do some research before commenting.
Smartest, gentlest dog I've ever had.
Malinois are such great dogs but their energy level is a bit too much for me. :)
I have one Malinois and I wouldn't say they're a docile breed, but they're not "aggressive" either. I do agree with the first comment, saying that this is a bad thing for "ignorant dog lovers" because the video made it look like it is a "easy to take care of" breed and it's definitely not.
Stephen Smith Mals ARE docile, they are not vicious dogs. You just have to get through about 3-4 ours of wearing them down, so they finally flop for a belly rub! Now speaking seriously I don't think the video shows a docile dog, it shows a dog that's a recipe for trouble if you're not willing to put the time and effort that these owners put into raising her.
