You Rock! Noah, Thank you for doing this, and for your service, Happy New Years to you both!

Noah Stone ,you just cant left your best friend....great job bro....

Can we see a video of your dog in your channel?

Noah Stone Thank you for your service Noah! I’ve got a Mally myself, from the pound no less. They’re incredible animals. Calling them “animals” just doesn’t seem right. More like friend, companion, confidant, and wicked side kick with a whole lot of love! 🐕

Noah Stone awesome! Unfortunately a lot of dogs are left and end up never getting a home after serving, they are vets just like us and deserve the same treatment their human counterparts get as they save so many.

Thank you! She makes us very happy as well.

Mark and Treat makes me happy too watching this video...thank you...I'm from Philippines

Amen to that!

In order to be able to get such a well behaved dog u need to have a lot of experience with dogs and inform urself a lot

Or they don’t like dogs 😐

@@MarkandTreat Is this a Belgian Malinois Shepherd mix?

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.

Provide your mobile no

The use of treats…😂😂 you don’t need food to train dogs, this is why I get so many people looking for help, these people feed the dog to get them to comply 😂 it’s like getting your kid a cupcake for making his bed 😂 look at a GSD trained by praise and dominance kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es5xZc2VyJuvaWQ.html

How does one learn to “BE A GOOD OWNER” especially when the dog is to be of service to its handicapped 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

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!

It’s all about priorities. If you really want one then quit your job or whatever it is that’s holding you back. You only live once or as Alan Watts said Better a short life full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.

I'm sorry for your loss. I sometimes dread the day Denali (my Mal) will have to go.

rip i’m sorry man🙁

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.

Katie Rosa , I agree 100%! I have wanted one for about 3 years now but I’m in graduate school and my husband is not very active so I’m waiting until next year at this time to buy myself my graduation present! A long awaited and overdue vacation and a Belgian Malinois!

@@patriciagrigsby-molina2460 you have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that! I'm glad you're willing to wait until you're ready instead of rushing into it. I wish you all the best when you get your Malinois. And good luck with school. ❤️

Unfortunately My step dad caged his Belgian malinois for the rest of her life

LOL, We must train first so we can cuddle!

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.

@@rachelireland8904 it would help me greatly if my husband would participate in training but he doesn't. He also doesn't reinforce much either. He is finally starting to praise them more.

Yeah my pup is not much the cuddler lol

That's so cool, you guys are awesome for taking in an older dog!

edufilm was your mali in movie? wow.... I watched Max 1 and 2, and all other films that featured dog...

Thank you!

Adrianne Bez the best part is that the owners are taking care and giving regular excersice. Some owners are busy on their cell phones.

Adrianne Bez I thought it was a German shepherd wow they look alike

KatieLove

Adrianne Bez yep belgians are great

Thank you, the dogs keep us active and make us happy in return.

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!

LOL, thank you!

Our priority is to have a balanced happy companion dog, sports are secondary. They live with us as family members in the house and are involved in pretty much every aspect of our lives. Thank you for noticing these details and sharing your thoughts!

Please share your video with us when it is available! Have fun and good luck!

Update us

How is ur dog doing?

How's your dog now?

how is it now?

Thank you!

TIME is the key word!! I LOVE MINE!!

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.

LOL!

😭

I actually laughed out loud, was not expecting the ending!

Who wants easy? 😊 kids are way more difficult to raise

@@onthefence1492 yeah but it's not easy to walk a dog 2-4 miles every day. And that's on the low end.

@@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

So sorry for your lost, they are never with us long enough =( Thank you for watching and commenting!

Have fun!

Phat Ballz can you hug your mali from me pls.....thank you. from Philippines

Thank you!

you can start training anytime!! don't be afraid to put yourself up for the task

What a pleasant surprise!!! Brett, how have you been? Are you on FB or instagram? We miss you, too!

@@MarkandTreat Unfortunately not, I was wasting too much time on there! Of Course now I'm doing it on youtube, but whatever.

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.

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!!

Mine on Aug 16 ,was hit by a bike . She was 11months old .We called her Lisa .

Katerina Wetzel sorry for your loss

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!

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oathlrZhnM3Gn2w.html

That's wild. Thank you!!

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.

how do you know?

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.
