    I have a 4 month old Malinois, 2 Min pins, tons of free chickens in my back yard and 4 cats. As long and you socialize your dog with small animals at a young age they’ll have no problem being around each other. The cats literally cuddle with my malanois they love eachother.

    I just found your channel, my 19 yr old son, took his own money and purchased a 5 month old GS from a bad situation to basically rescue this poor dog, who was chained up outside and never allowed indoors or proper outdoor shelter or socialization, this was in mid January in Chicago. Unfortunately she is anxious and very scared of strangers, we found a behaviorist and a trainer to help us train Athena, This dog is so sweet and fun, she is obsessed with playing fetch. She loves children. I thought she was a working line GS, now I’m convinced she is a BM. She is 60lbs, muscular and insanely fast, her body is aero dynamic, she looks like she can fly when she jumps, she’s so smart. Listens really well, except when she is stressed out and trying to hide, It is very hard to train her in the presence of people she does not know, so I can’t really take her to do agility training because she completely shuts down and hides around strangers. Trying to build up her self confidence, I’m going to devour your videos looking for ways to help this sweet girl!

      Don't push her. Do lots of praise and tell people to ignore her. Belgians do much better if it's their idea to approach people.

      I've had Belgians for 35 years. Groenendael are the easiest. They are more sensitive and really want to please. Tervuren are a little more high drive than the black dogs, but very similar. Laekenois are probably the mellowest of the 4, but also the hardest headed. They are either the best dog or the worst dog. Depends on what is going on. Malinois are the ADHD dog. Fantastic if you can channel that energy and intelligence.

      She could be a working line German Shepherd or a working line German Shepherd Malinois mix. I see many many many Belgian Malinois these days advertised as Belgian Malinois from backyard breeders that are actually crosses up the two. Remember that unless you're breeding Sable to Sable or black to black, black and tan to Fawn Malinois will result in a fawn coat.
      I've even seen Belgian Malinois that look like a Malinois but they are black and tan with the saddle back with from the German Shepherd. These dogs are most often crossed as well and Holland because they keep an open stud book on the Malinois and they will purposely outcross every 8 plus or minus generations to increase size and this is where the different colorations and come in and a lot of variety of type. Crosses of the toucan look like a purebred GSD only a little bit smaller or a purebred Malinois only slightly larger.. also what matters is what they are crossing with. If Crossing with a show line German Shepherd they will look different than if they are crossed with a working line they will resemble more of working line Malinois or Shepherd
      Most often you can tell if it's a mix if the head type is wider. Belgians have a very very narrow head whereas working line German Shepherds have a beautiful big wide head and bigger muzzle. I have seen 60 lb small working line female German Shepherds that are extremely agile. If I could show you pictures I would but my point is it that it is very likely that the dog could be a mix of the two or even just a purebred working line small GSD.

    To guy who asked how to effectively convince a positive ONLY trainer that balanced training is best, my heart goes out to you. This is one of the most frustrating things I work with. Just one example: 3-year-old pit mix has been at shelter for 2 years. Doesn’t get walks or training because she’s too f’ing strong for most of us and prongs and “choke” collars are not allowed at the shelter. I finally got permission to take her off shelter grounds to “train at a quiet park”. I did it so I could use the tools that would work for her. She would get so excited every time I came to pick her up to train. Why - because I was abusing her? No, because she was getting clear communication through the use of an appropriate collar. She learned to walk calmly and was adopted 4 months after I started working with her, AFTER TWO YEARS working with the shelter’s positive only trainer.
    My thoughts: do whatever you have to do to get through your time with that trainer and then move on to a more fair, effective training plan with your dog.

      I hate this positive training crap. I’m all for being positive and rewarding your dog but there’s gotta be a line somewhere especially with troubled dogs. Training tools are just that, tools. I adopted a kill list dog with a bite record and got a earful from a shelter supervisor about how I should use a gentle leader vs a prong on walks. My dog is a big dna tested pit/chow/boxer/gsd mix who is extremely leash reactive/fear reactive. In the beginning he would literally do flips and redirect on me while basically going nuts on leash. He scared everyone. He would have been out of a gentle leader in a heartbeat. When they told me that’s what I should be using I looked at the guy in disbelief and asked “have you even met this dog?!” They continued to follow my dogs progress on social media and 6mo later they asked me if I’d do a tv interview for the shelter because the dog turned out to be one of their best/most reformed cases & they wanted to promote their pit bull program. I declined and told them their training did nothing for that dog 😂 I love him so much I don’t know what if do without him. They were wrong about everything they told me about his behavior and advised me on training. It’s so so important to find a balanced trainer if you don’t know how to do it yourself. Wishy washy magical treat training doesn’t work in all circumstances.

    My first dog was a Rottweiler. I think, they are very different from Malinois, because they are very calm and "serious" dogs with low temperament. Rottweilers need (and love) regular obedience training and long walks, but compared with Dobermann or Malinois, even German Shepherd, they are like a rock compared to a whirlwind.
    In fact, my Rotti was a worse guardian dog than the Samoyed I own today, because he was scared of absolutely nothing. He didn't feel it was necessary to bark at strangers approaching the property.
    He was very protective of me though and wouldn't allow strangers to touch me. But he also understood not to harm people.
    For example he didn't want my mothers guests to shake my hand.
    So he placed himself in front of me and (no barking, no growling) pushed their hand away.
    He also protected my room against everybody, except my sister. When my grandma once just walked in, he gently grabbed her by the sleeve and simply stood there like an anchor.

    Just now watching this. Still very good content. Regarding a mal and cats. We slowly over months have introduced and incorporated our 8wk Mal and three cats. Now Marz is 6mos and the cats are not a trigger to Marz at all. They eat together and two of our cats will seek Marz out. The third cat is more standoffish anyways and does not mess with the doggo much. Once Marz was let out in the back yard and one of the cats got out. Now we have a pen that we put the cats in the garden, so be out is not a bad thing but I was worried that Marz would chase the cat. And she did but not in attack, but as herding. We knew the Mom and pups were raised around chickens and the mom was not into harming them, but would often herd the hens. We lucked out because we didn’t not intentionally screen for compatibility. I think they will be cuddle buddies in another 6mos. Feed them together and show the Mal early that the cats are protected.

    I adopted a black Belgian malinois at one year of age, she had no prior training. She was free. She rescued kittens on our farm and became their "momma" , I then decided to get her a blue heeler puppy. They're best friends on first introduction. I've spent very little time training my dogs. Though we live on 30 acres they don't work. They just go and do what they want and are massive undestructive couch potatoes. Idk how I got so lucky to get two purebred working dogs that don't do any damage when not assigned tasks and for free because the original owners say they can't handle them. It's been a year with the mal and 4 months with the heeler and no problems what soever.

    There are differences even between the breeds. In deciding to get a second dog I looked at Border Collies and Malinois. Over the years I have owned many GSD's, including the working line. I work from home, walk them about 3 hours a day, train about an hour a day and use them for herding. Activities include obedience, scent work and heelwork to music freestyle. So on paper, I would be considered a reasonable candidate for these breeds.
    I often look after my sisters Border Collies and found them much more intense than my working shep. For instance: waiting for me to throw a ball. My shep will be watching me not the ball, eager but in a half sit. The collie will not take their eyes off the ball and if I do not instantly pick it up nudge or bring it closer. Both breeds will do a full day work/activity - but when you want to relax in the evening my shep will be happy to curl up next to me. The collie will still be bringing me balls - take these away and it is toys - take these and they constantly get up to pace. I cannot relax - because they do not.
    My friend is a dog trainer for the police and describes the difference between the GSD and Malinois in much the same way - the Mal has no off switch. She says both are equal in work, although the GSD can be slightly easier to train. I asked why use Malinois - her response - they are lighter and handlers are required to demonstrate they can carry the dog. It is easier for a woman or man with a slighter build.

    My work schedule changed. New schedule makes it challenging to work my Mals as regularly as I use to. So I ordered a slatmill (K9 propelled treadmill). They are not cheap but is worth it. Now I can put them on the slatmill before I head out for work or when I get back late to help release some of the energy. One has to be creative in finding solutions to keep them healthy and happy. Thank you Robert for all you do.

    Every time I see anything about a mal i thank jesus christ that mine is mixed. I knew I wanted a pitbull and he was just beautiful completely jet black shiney sweet sweet puppy. I didnt care that he was mixed. I had heard of mals before but didnt bother to brush up before I bought him. Hes a year old now and I just discovered balanced training after being positive only my whole life I've had some small dogs and mostly rottweilers. Ive had a prong collar for about 2 weeks and wow what a difference. No more jumping and loose leash walking like pros. I was on the verge of considering rehoming him, your videos played a part in saving my dog. I'm ashamed I even considered considering it, hes a wonderful dog just needed more guidance. Hes gotten all of 4 pops of the prong.

    What important do you place on seeing the mother and the father before you buy another dog or I’ve seen both mother and father mother and when I’ve seen either and I’ve noticed a subtle difference but I can honestly say I’ve noticed dramatic difference because I took a lot of time to find the right dog and went to a lot of breeders by recommendation reputation with the rep recommendation any thoughts

    Another excellent video I get irritated by the "mal snobs" in the groups I belong to forget they once was a first time Malinois owner and its really sickening the way they act ppl asking legit questions that anyone doing their homework should ask and will attack these ppl instead of giving solid information about the dogs...those ppl "tattle tales" we call them Karen's and Kyle's they drive me crazy they are the ones who negative about prong and ecollar and crates and will claim "their dogs are perfect and have never chewed up anything" and we all know that's a lie unless by chance they got their dogs pretrained and older never in my life have I ever had a puppy that hasn't chewed something up my weimaraners were far more destructive than my mal really has....hey I commend you for being a stay at home dad ....I stay home for our Malinois and I've typically been stay at home for all my animals including the horses....you have helped me so much with our first mal who's working lines hes not what akc would actually consider full since has gsd in his blood lines he was bred by a cop for a number of reasons to be dual purpose dog with better health better off switch we absolutely love him he can go from bite work to sent work to being content chilling with us on the couch we are in love....thank you for all your amazing videos cause I truthfully wouldn't dare ask fb mal groups we also have a amazing trainer who is our k9 officer who knows mals and mal/gsd they import from Germany hes also a trainer for the department and works part time as a trainer for off leash k9 all the trainers at our location are cops or military with excellent backgrounds with k9s

    I’ve seen a lot of young Dobermans listed on Kijiii, similar to Craig’s List, lately and it breaks my heart and angers me. I know the bond they develop with their owners and how mine would be affected if I ever gave her up. Do people think a working breed dog, or any dog, comes trained? Yes, mine looks great when I have her out in public. But her behaviour didn’t happen overnight. I spend time training her every day without fail. Even with the training she has, I continue to work her on those skills to hone them and keep her sharp. All my Dobies have needed to be worked. People really need to do their homework before getting any dog. It will change your life and you either better be prepared for that or do not get a dog.

Because of this, he is very calm, considerate, and well behaved. I have had many dogs, and I must say I LOVE this dog! I've never seen an animal so affectionate- he actually HUGS our family members- I did not train this and am BLOWN away by the intelligence of this dog. These dogs ARE a whole different class, and I did my homework and was ready for the commitment. I can only hope and pray that others do the same when getting this type of dog!

    Couple of summers ago a bloke (accidentally) killed his kelpie playing "throw ball". He thought the dog enjoyed it because it kept going. Dog died of dehydration/heart attack. Working with herding dogs(eg. koolie) you've got to call them in to give them a break; they'll keep going. "Red Dog" the movie came out; Working Dog Australia had to re-home 2,000. They were not looking forward to "Red Dog pt. 2" A lot of people didn't realize what they were taking on. In their first year Border Collies have a high "dumpage rate" (clocked in Wales as working 74 km a day. Huskies, 30km a day.) Taking a 'working dog' out for a long walk hoping to tire the dog won't work. The likelihood is the dog will get super fit and you'll get super exhausted. Fair leadership comes from benevolent dictatorship. Don't worry if your dog doesn't eat for a couple of days: in the wild the dog wouldn't eat for a couple of days; fasting helps the digestive system re-align; going hunting with the dogs we don't feed the dogs for a couple of days beforehand.

    ? - 50/50 Doberman-Shepherd (mom purebred shepherd/dad purebred Doberman) @ 4.5 months old:
    He’s nipping at/chewing at/chomping at our hands. Very much in a playful way, and he’s at a peak in teething (losing baby teeth daily), but we need to curb the mouthing behavior stat. When he does it, I’ve been saying, “No” (which he normally understands & responds to well), take hand away, and immediately give one of his chew toys.
    Am I essentially rewarding the behavior we don’t want, without realizing it? By trading my hand for a chew toy? Cuz his urge to hand chew is not stopping, and that’s not typical for him with corrections, so I’m definitely doing something wrong. Just not sure what.
    Other techniques? Thoughts? Thank you!

    I am going through and watching some of these older videos. I have enjoyed all of your videos that I have watched thus far. You are what I would call an old time trainer, who uses common sense and looks to the individual dog for what it needs in how to teach it. New trainers think there is one tool in the box and that is the treat/clicker combo pack. Not all dogs learn the same, a good trainer, listens to the dog. In my opinion. The Utopia trainers who think their way is the only way and every other way should be banned, are the ones who do the most damage to dogs as a rule. I have thought about getting a Malinois for the past 30 years, I have had Rottweilers for 44 years. I kept saying when I was ready to downsize, I would go with a Mal. I love a dog with some drive, I love a smart dog, a dog that thinks and also a dog that wants to work with it's person. When I am ready, I will be adding a female Malinois to my 2 male Rotti house.
