I really enjoyed this. Humorous and lighthearted but should silence all the people that left ridiculous comments on the first Malinois video about how "untrained" Envy is. She is beautifully trained! love her smile.
you are my favorite go to video for people who just have to have a Malinois. Your humor and accurate portrayal of what life is really like is refreshing. Thank you!
Upside down sleeping , answering back/snaps , owning all the toys , Dutch speaking , escorting around the house(or anywhere), head press cuddles - All check here
Got a mal/red heeler mix. All mal behaviors you mention. Upside down bitey face and all. Awesome training partner, great sense of humor that GSD usually don’t have.
I love those 2 videos. I’ve watched them before getting my Malinois and now after living with her for 7 month rewatched and was like “that’s so etna hahahaha” all the time. You don’t know what you get yourself into until they’re here. But as you said in video 1. They’re sportscars and one needs to be prepared !
I am so entertained watching "Mal" videos because they are so beautiful, smart, energetic, etc. How I wish I could own one, but my current circumstances prevent that, being disabled and having tremendous difficulty to walk/ maneuver. I have stiff person syndrome.
i am so looking forward to all of this stuff when our maligator gets big. we have him enrolled into formal training to try and get out some of that energy, but boy oh boy are we excited to have him a part of our lives. thank you for your videos!
@@rickyd2222 We also have Lola, the little black and white spaniel mix. She is actually our oldest dog and the first we got together. She may not feature as often but *if* we had a favourite, it would be her.
@@DogMattersTV I'm partial to Chester and Envy. Have to snoop around your videos and find Lola. Since the last time we chatted, I lost both my GSDs. Still have K9 Blaze (Maligator)
Holy smokes I think that my rescue dog is 90% Malinois that looks JUST like a American Bulldog! I don't know German so he is trained in English...which is fitting given the "American" in American Bulldog. We can't do the walking between the legs either because he is roughly the size of a small horse but EVERYTHING else is dead on (mouthy, taking over the other dogs, following me everywhere etc). Honestly great videos! I had never heard of a Malinois which is why I watched the first video you did (talking about them being part jungle cat). You have a great sense of humor and obviously love your pets! Thanks for sharing!!
Lol, nice production. My guy is just about the same. He has his own chair, but its the trade off from not being allowed on other furniture. Commands with this breed are unbelievable. My guy is 8 years, and still learns within minutes, and retains it! I cannot go to another breed, Mals have spoiled me!
Excellent! Beautifully done! Mine is in France right now... she is 1. (working dog in the civil) I can hardly wait to see her in July! And hopefully she will be with me for good from then on... But what a dog! Like your Envy! Except mine is French!
i have a year old mal, he is very calm and placid at home, sleeps everywhere. He never acts out or misbehaves. I see alot of comments about how these dogs are not a pet, this is bullshit. My mal is a house pet, gets regular walks and is very obedient, i do agree however that they are not a dog to have as a cuddly buddy that will sleep all day while you are working or cooking etc. He needs his walks and obedience and "job". bit generally, dedicating two hours to a walk every day, and obedience training they turn out pretty well. however, if you give them an inch they will take a mile, so you must be assertive.
Sounds like you got one on the "calmer" end of the spectrum. I've rehabbed some Malis that were basically a German Shepherd+Alligator+Methamphetamine that I would NOT have wanted to re-home with a "standard" dog owner (they usually end up with police or SAR). I think trainers kind of emphasize this "crazy dog" story so that people who are unfamiliar don't think, "Oh, it's a Golden Retriever with a different shape..." - and either end up dumping the dog or, like one dog I rehabbed, put it on *Prozac* for most of it's life.
Great video.....I enjoyed the many similar attributes that my Mali had.....from biting water from the hose to the soprano barking. They can be really great dogs!
We have a 8 mo Belgian, I love him SO much, and your video is spot on. Had to laugh it was like watching my Rain Man in another body!!! DITTO DITTO. Love your videos, thanks!!!
I absolutely adore my Maligator. Abby saved my life twice, so, she pretty much gets whatever she wants. My Abby ownes every inch of our Ranch, and I do mean everything. As far as sleeping, if she's not running at mach 2 she's asleep, usually with her feet in the air. I love my Abby.
I'm a total fan! I found you after I read James Rollins novels featuring Kane, a Belgian Malinois and his human partner Tucker Wayne. I wanted to learn more about the bred and found you. Now my entire family want to learn more about lovingly teaching dogs! You are so entertaining. A star really, so is Envy! Cheers😊
M wife and I have an Australian cattle dog (Blue Heeler) who just turned four and we use movie/cartoon languages for him(ex. "Yip-yip" from avatar to jump up in the car or "Papoy" from Minion's to retrieve and hand us his toy, makes people smile when we explain what the words mean :) We are looking to get a Malinois in a few months and we want to teach him in German. Then they will both have their own vocabulary so we can command them separately when off leash. Beautiful pup and thanks for the videos.
Great vid. We lucked out when we adopted a rescue "shepherd mix"= Mali + boxer 98lbs. Looks like a Mali but broader chest, slightly shorter muzzle and longer lips help him blow bubbles. So awesome, cuddly and ferocious. The water thing, lays in his kiddie pool on hot days, same at the beach. The upside down posture! Training is a breeze, if you know what I mean;-) Howls on command, WoooOoo. Blows bubbles. In public mostly ignores people, is this a Mali trait?
Funny comment about German makes you a REAL dog trainer ! ! Classic! I am half Aussie ( German blood originally ...5 generations ago) but am half French ( still a dual national) love this breed. I am a reg’sted working kelpie breeder and train them as stock dogs but they also are my love, life, everything. Also breed Egyptian Arab horses ( imported a few fillies) and live in the outback. I started registering and breeding Kelpies to try and produce dogs that are all instinct and break themselves in. The working kelpie too often is killed because they end up in the hands of ignorant people in the agricultural industry and don’ t get a chance. No dog is fully trained until over 2. Luckily there are good dog people out there too but in the bush it is hard to find dogs in need of help.
OMG, this is soooooooooooooo funny, it's MY DOGS ALL THE WAY! keep them out of a non concrete pool unless they have boots on, or give them their own pool like she did!!!! Awesome video.
It blows my mind that you didn't inform yourself the slightest about the possible breed that lies into your dog and what you have to expect getting it.
My nephew has a half Malinois. Biggest teeth on a dog Ive ever seen. Very sweet and friendly dog. But once I tried a rope pull. The deep growl, strength and teeth freaked me out, so I decided to end that exercise. Its like living with a tame velacorapter. Right out of Jurassic Park!
I have a Dutch Shepherd name Dutchess (what else would I name her). Very similar behavior but a notch or two lower on the psycho dial. Actually your Mal seems pretty mellow compared to some I've seen. Dutchess is about her level of drive. I have a friend that has a very large 80 pound pure bred male Malinois (10 months old). It is more like the anti-Malinois because he has the traits of a Labrador Retriever instead of a Mal. He loves to retrieve and after one hour at the dog park, he is good for the day. Will sleep like a tired English Bulldog, but is always ready to go. My point is, these dogs don't all have traits that will make them difficult to keep as pets. Most are just fine if you have the time for them and at least 1 to 2 hours of walks or hard exercise at the dog park. When choosing a puppy from a litter, you can usually tell the more manageable ones from the rest. Unless you want a dog for bite work, just get a puppy that doesn't think it's a Piranha and you'll probably be fine.
I rescued a Siberian Husky cross and found out she is half Malinois, of which I knew little. She is a yr old, smart and energetic. In obedience she is does well at home (even near our other rescues), but very timid and vocal when another dog gets near her boundaries at pet training center. For this reason I doubt she will pass the CGC test in a month. Any helpful tips appreciated.
Ive always had border collie dogs but when my son got a malli wow i fell in love with this breed special super charged totally loyal shows no fear loves its human family i really want one as my next dog but it will never happen iam 60 years of age i can never give the total commitment this breed needs 3 hours max walking is a must its a super dog for super human lazy or tired from old age forget it first dog forget it this is marathon dog for marathon people
Mine owns ever chair a couch in the house she has blankets on each because she loves something soft if there pillows she pulls them down to lay on all in all she’s a great dog
@dogmatters I thought mine was an Australian kelpie and or this breed belgium malinois he is a rescue is it true that watering them with water assists their growth because he is certainly something indispensable and exceptional for better or worse lol but do their size ranges vary? Is that myth true because it sounds like a plant as opposed to a superego that my Hund is? thanks so much and glad to find your channel!
You don't have to speak german but flemish since it is a Belgian dog that comes from a flemisch spoken area of Belgium. Flemisch sounds like german Platz is plaats in flemisch, fuss is voet etc :-)
My female mal “Sasha” is just over 13 months old and weighs in @ 59 pounds. Just curious how much “Envy” weighs! Love the videos and you are definitely spot on about mal behavior!! Lol does Envy like to dig??
So they do have an off switch I’m seriously thinking about getting one I’ve seen a lot of videos where the dogs are like non stop . Are they good to have around 4 year olds who don’t have an off switch..
I really enjoyed this. Humorous and lighthearted but should silence all the people that left ridiculous comments on the first Malinois video about how "untrained" Envy is. She is beautifully trained! love her smile.
I love the way malinois are good at communicating (1:35) when it looked at you to mean "I know you said 'leave it', but I want to play with that"
you are my favorite go to video for people who just have to have a Malinois. Your humor and accurate portrayal of what life is really like is refreshing. Thank you!

This is so sweet. And the 'use all your commands in German' comment made me laugh. Envy is such a cutie! Lots of love from my 4 and me :)
"Has bitey face ready to go!" I laughed a bit too hard at that :)

my malinois are pushing my desk chair around because they hear Envy. such funny dogs. snapping teeth is a regular thing. it amazes me
I have a Dutch Shepherd (a Malinois with stripes) and she is a carbon copy of Envy. So much energy, but such a goofball.
I am so entertained watching "Mal" videos because they are so beautiful, smart, energetic, etc. How I wish I could own one, but my current circumstances prevent that, being disabled and having tremendous difficulty to walk/ maneuver. I have stiff person syndrome.
Dat bitey face tho
There's a reason I named my Mal-Pit Fenrir....
She is the most interesting dog I have ever seen and I love the bitey face!
i am so looking forward to all of this stuff when our maligator gets big. we have him enrolled into formal training to try and get out some of that energy, but boy oh boy are we excited to have him a part of our lives.

Man They look like a lot of fun! And a lot of work
Hi I am new and sub to your channel. Love you channel esp when u mix it with humour so thank you for sharing your advise too

I really like the malinios snap… I’ve never seem another dog do that.
i have a malinois x staffordshire bull terrier.
& he constantly rolls on his back with bitey face or gived me a cheeky little toothy smile
Thank you- this video touched me and is a spot on description of our 18 month old Malinois
Brilliant, that's a happy dog.
“Spikey face!”, Nom Nom. Nothing like a Maligator. Thanks for the vid!
Great work. Grinning ear to ear the whole video :P
Love the video, especially the German commands :-)
I love these dogs! Thanks for making the video. Love your sense of humor too.
When I accidentally got my Malinois I stumbled on your first video. And boy oh boy is my Freya a carbon copy of envy!
Hi! Love this video, can you please explain or make a video about how to teach the biting face ?
Lol, nice production. My guy is just about the same. He has his own chair, but its the trade off from not being allowed on other furniture. Commands with this breed are unbelievable. My guy is 8 years, and still learns within minutes, and retains it! I cannot go to another breed, Mals have spoiled me!
You have beautiful malinois there! Enjoy! I have one myself & enjoying him always !👍😆

Even my 14yo min pin got two hours of walks every day.
I really enjoyed your sense of HUMOR lol 🤣😂
I love your approach to the comments. your great I love the dog breed. Would love to have one some day
I LOVED the chomp chomp haha. Fantastic dogs. I want one but I know what they entail and don't have that time in my life yet. BUT that day will come 😊
Oh snap!! What a good command, how did you do that!?

Never said it did, but my genes come from Germany, so we wanted to use that. The new pup is not going care what language we use...

very cool video
Envy is awesome.
I love Malinos dogs :)
my mal was poisened died shena was beautiful thank you for this made me smille first time
Haha this is a fab video! ;)
What are the basic German commands? I do remember Plotts because I lived there a year while 3-4
One important question haha, how did you teach her the 'schnapp' thing the bite clab sound ?
Capturing - something she did naturally when frustrated so I captured then put on cue.
I love this breed,I want one :)
My Malinois always wants to do a “perimeter check” everytime I have open the bathroom door.
Yes I need malino dogs, how foreved to move.?
good looking Mali. I use French commands.
what guard dog do you suggest for me then?
You don't have to speak german but flemish since it is a Belgian dog that comes from a flemisch spoken area of Belgium. Flemisch sounds like german
Platz is plaats in flemisch, fuss is voet etc :-)
make a video on the bird thats making all that sound in the background
