and so many working dogs are reactive... yes they still need mom and they will be more stable when being with mom longer.

Too many forget working puppies are still puppies. I don’t care if I have super star puppies, I’m worried about having super star adults!

@@modernmalinois so true !!!!

Dog need their mother dog for minimum 8 weeks, if they are to they are 12 weeks like cats need is even better. Dont take cat och dog puppy away from their mama..Just saying..

so true. I don't get why anyone would willingly add extra stress. a working dog needs to be secure and well adjusted and mama is the best teacher for that.

There’s no way I could do this if it wasn’t an autistic special interest. I literally work 90hrs a week with a decent team helping.

​@@modernmalinois90 hours?! That's ALOT. Your team must be a great support.

I was thinking the exact same thing. How lovely to not only be earning a living but in a profession where you are so generously skilled, kind and obviously talented. At a young age too, that takes hard work, great employees around you and what you have in spades...Love! I so enjoy your videos 😊❤

@@modernmalinois (obviously, feel free to ignore this question if you’re not comfortable discussing this 😊) do you have self-care and systems in place to help you avoid or manage burnout? I struggle with traditional employment and would love to be self employed when I have to return to the workforce, but don’t know if I have the executive functioning skills to run a business without being constantly overwhelmed.

Yep! Comforting them when they have their moments now will allow them to regulate themselves better later.

@@modernmalinois absolutely - same with human babies. if there is an adult around who can contain their feelings they will learn to selfregulate as well as the adult around does (or does not - then we have reactive dogs - and children... brains are not the same in humans and dogs, but nerves are... ) 🙂 there is a german dog trainer who shows this with even adult dogs like caucasian shepherds, kangals and such. she is a hell of a woman. no violence but absolute training of self regulation and social behaviour with fences in between the dogs in the beginning but creating situations in small steps where agressive and reactive dogs with bodyweights heigher than herself experience social interaction as soothing and beautifull. she rescues these dogs and also lives with a dozen of them (!!!!!) in her and her husbands house. husband is also dedicated to this kind of work with the dogs. her name is mirjam cordt.

@@ChiefHerzensCoachthat’s why the cry it out method some parents use on babies is really bad for their development. Comforting your baby whenever it’s crying, baby wearing and even co-sleeping once it’s safe won’t raise spoiled kids but kids with good attachment style

Glad your mal has someone to help them through it! And yeah for us socialization and being able to exist happily in the human world is always a higher priority than their training.

He may also be going through a "fear period" usually 3/6/9/12/18 months they go through little periods where they're afraid. ALL dogs do. They don't last, as long as you don't make big issues out of whatever they're being afraid of and don't coddle them. Of course, the time frames 3/6/9, etc, aren't set in stone because every dog is an individual.

Do you have video or book recommendations for this issue? Mine was a rescued when she's about 5 months old, and because I live alone in a quiet residence area and have no car, she became more frightened with a lot of things, most notably vehicle's loud noise & big size. That makes it hard to take her for a walk, or going to vet. She's almost 2 now, and I hardly find training video for this type of pups​@@brendad7559

We all have our favourites. I see yellow as the future Leader of the pack. I love the little fat belly and the somewhat delicate disposition. Mind you I would spoil that pup so much.

And Grandpa Matt!

@@supatichaI’m thoroughly loving watching these delightful puppies develop and grow. Seeing their personalities beginning to shine is a wonderful experience. Really appreciate you sharing the way you start basic training do young. Keep sharing please. I’ve had dogs all my memory snd I’ve watched and read many aspects of raiding puppies but never knew how important to their training sbd development it is to start so young to ensure that they grow up into confident well trained adult dogs. I love this breed and it’s absolute joy to watch your videos. I’m following closely the way you go things and trying to remember as much as I can. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏💖

I totes agree!!!

i was noticing that there doesn’t seem to be a runt! they’re all just gorgeous!!

Plenty more to come! Got a full time editor now and not going it all myself anymore lol. Hope to hear putting out a lot more content!

@@modernmalinois awsome cant wait we can learn alot from you

Black and Purple are also superb puppies, ever since they were really small I noticed the gurls were giving the boys a run for their money! Alexandra's gonna be a proud momma

I know I'd get too attached to every one of them and would keep them all for myself! Haha it's truly a remarkable job and I'm sure he'll find them the most amazing homes.

Interestingly pink actually reminds me of Alrick’s late dad Rocky!

Seriously. I have a 10 month old Mal and he's an absolute DRAMA QUEEN right now 😂
