EASY OBEDIENCE TRAINING WITH MY BELGIAN MALINOIS PUPPY! HEEL/ SIT/ DOWN/ STAY!

[@michaelquillen2679]

The fact that this dog loves to go into the collars and is wagging his tail during this training is living proof that this trainer is not abusing this dog with these training tools/devices. Did you see any misuse? Intelligent dogs love good training and strive to please with good training. This dog loves this stuff! I use a Martingale collar to keep my dog from pulling at the heel and/or bolting from the heel. My dog loves a good walk and some training and then finishing the walk. Then he likes to come home and play games like fetch and tug. Thanks for the video!

@Waya Wolf shooting sports I’ve found over the years that people who ‘dislike’ the Ecollar often form that opinion from an emotional standpoint. It’s never based on matter of fact evidence and they never have any real experience with the tool. I’ve personally converted hundreds of clients that were on the fence and they have all thanked me! 🙏🏼

Mcmillian is incredible! We watch his show lucky dog and can't believe what a selfless helping person he is. The book kzbin.infoUgkxfKlzfzw0sMZ_RgZNzMeOPu6d4b5i5XWl has his training methods from both the show and new tricks i had not heard until i got the book. Simple dog psychology and pointers to make the methods stick. Great insight to the thinking of dogs. There is so much more we know now about our dogs. Fear in training no longer apply. I cannot say enough about this book and it's author.

[@kennyjanssens4448]

I stumbled upon this by accident, but amazing to see how well trained your dog is. We had a malinois ' mechelse herder' when I was a kid. He was roaming around the stables behind our house. after a couple of days he decided to follow us and run into our garage door, on christmas eve. He was a young dog, estimated like 7 or 8 months at that time. I remember my father calling the police to report a lost animal and they promised they would pick him up the next day. He was super friendly and as we didn't have any dogfood in the house my sister and i fed him dry ' soldatenkoeken' which translates to soldier cookies. I'm so glad police never came to get him because he became part of the family and was always there for us. We later learned he was probably kicked out by a breeder who lived in the town next to ours because he was to kind for attack orders. However he never failed to guard the house, chasing of burglars twice and defended my sister once when she was harrased by some drunk bikers at a bar near our neighbourhood. I really loved that dog, it's been almost 20 years since he passed away and I still remember him vividly. A friend, a family member and the most loyal being you could imagine. Gypsy, you will always be in our hearts !

[@teqfreak]

Oh man, I feel you... I used to have a "mechelse herder" as well in our friendly dutch town where I used to live :-) Fantastic animal, my best buddy and friend. We got the dog when I was 5-6 years old, the dog was around 2 years old at the time. I grew up with her, I have no siblings and she was my best friend until she was over 16 years old (I was 21/22 or something) and passed away. Active until her late senior years. I have been heart broken for such a long time and still miss that dog 15 years later. We could do anything with that dog. We did all sorts of training activities, my parents used to go to the forest with that dog 3 times a day (and I joined as often as possible too), she never needed a leash either and would simply listen on great distances. It was more to comfort other humans that sometimes we would put her on a leash. It was an absolute delight to grow up with such a special animal with so much character.

[@jofelder2200]

Loved this video! How would you handle a very strong, hyper, untrained adult Belgium Malinois who constantly pulls and tries to chase cars, birds, and squirrels, during walks???? He is very smart and sweet and will sit and stay, in the house, for short periods of time, for a treat. He loves people and other dogs, (except for one dog that initiated a fight with him and a few known petty thieves in the community, who he barks at, nonstop and tries to chase, when he sees them, because I believe they stole some things from our yard, before.)

We had a beautiful but huge Shepherd who I couldn't ever walk with because she pulled so hard. We tried the collar literally one time for about 15 minutes...it was as if before we used the collar, she thought we wanted her to pull us along! She was completely walkable by any sized person after that. She wasn't injured at all and it changed her life. Changed my opinion of the collar forever.

I am loving your channel. My husband and I bought a home, and my parents wanted us to have a dog so we got one of theirs. A few months later we came across someone trying to find homes for blue heeler puppies (I think it was an accidental litter from a backyard breeder) so we now have a 3 yo lab-husky mix and a 9 mo blue heeler. I'm now working hard to train these two and this is helping me to become consistent with the words I use and how to teach commands. My family never taught anything more than sit with our dogs growing up so that was the only one I knew how to teach. After couple weeks the puppy has already learned multiple commands and the lab-husky isn't far behind.

Most of all, we love him and we know he does too. After im finished with school, ive thinking a lot of getting a Belgian Maliona. Yes, itll take a lot of time and patients. Which they have a lot of energy, therefore i need all of my life to be with.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. We don’t allow prongs where I’m from. And our trainer is r+, but I absolutely appreciate great trainers and different methods. Proof is in the pudding. Your dog isn’t displaying meta signals that show distress or discomfort. I think many people see aversive tools and condemn them. It’s easy when we have goofy but highly biddable labs, or Goldens or cavs with low prey drive. I’m always open to learning new things. And you’ve got a new subscriber ☺️

My Mal girl, Jackie, has the same white chest cross marking as Freddy, so they may have some common lineage! It's so awesome how Freddy is so excited and full of love and joy and the amazing relationship you have with him, and how happy he is when he's working.

Thanks! First I teach this position with food only over many months. The way I position my food hand will determine where the dog’s head is. Once Freddy understood this position, I then layered in my prong which he already understood leash pressure from. So these two techniques combined is what led to his Heel 🙏🏼

Somewhat helpful but it seems that you’ve already started training him off camera so he’s familiar with it. Some videos of what to do and how to teach them from scratch would be helpful.

hi andy great work and great video as usual! your dogs are amazing!! i have a doubt about this session you did. you didn't use the e collar, at least during the video, so my question is: did you use it later in the training session or is it a way to have your dog's 'training mode' ON? also that great 'come when called' you did with that little whistle with the dog immediately runs to you: is it conditioned by e-collar training! my 11 month old mal has a good 'came when called' when we are outside our home territory but often i struggle to make her come when she is running around in the field (we don't have fences) at home. she is like 'f**k you i'm having good time here i won't come'!!. for sure we can work more and more on the comand, but do you think with a proper e-collar training can we have better results?

[@AndyKrueger]

Great questions 🙌🏻 This session he wore the ecollar but I never used it, even after video was over. I wouldn’t use it to ‘activate training mode’ bc later when I don’t want to use the ecollar this could cause problems. Collar going on is normal no matter what we do. 👍🏻 I actually haven’t used the ecollar for his recall at all, BUT, also keep in mind he is in his yard where he is used to things, so recall is easy. If I took him out in public off leash, I’d want him to know the collar for recall first. Using the ecollar the reinforce your recall is one of the best uses for it! Your dog knows if they blow you off you have the ability to reach out and touch them/ correct them immediately no matter the distance 🙏🏼

my Belgian malinois has to live with me in a semi truck sleeper berth, it's pretty small for this dog from what I understand. her other alternative is some kind of shelter or give her away 😩😨 I picked her up from a kill shelter.. so I don't know how many options she has left. I don't mind her company and don't need to get rid of her. But I would like to know, if anyone has any recommendations for me to help stimulate her mentally? we can't get very physical often, she loves playing fetch and brings the toy right back 😍 any opinions and exercises or techniques would be greatly appreciated. thank you

[@AndyKrueger]

I’d keep playing fetch when you can and mix up the different toys you use to create variety. Ball, frisbee, tugs, jolly balls etc 👍🏻

[@kagan7070]

Realising every command with s heel position is good idea

[@froast574]

Great video! Thank you for including the french commands. 👍 Questions- do you exercise before training? (it seems like the answer would be no since you want him PUMPED) How much exercise do your mals get a day?

[@AndyKrueger]

Thanks! 🙏🏼 Great question; I do a 5-10 min run around/ potty break before training, just to get the blood flowing and muscles warm. But yes I want him pumped before the session. When I compete, I may exercise my dog a bit with 5-10 min of tug to take the edge off. My mals get a moderate amount of exercise daily, but I’d bet people would be surprised with how much down time they get. I’ve been through many injuries with many dogs and know over exercise is usually the main culprit. And most newer owners think since their mal ‘has so much energy’ they need to be run all day. Teaching them how to relax and be bored is extremely important to me. The dog works for me, not vice versa!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have an Australian kelpie and I have someone issues with her. She learns commands quickly and does them well, but she is so energetic and when ahe gets too worked up she runs around Ike crazy instead of listening . Because of her high energy she has trouble with impulse control. For example, she listens to her basic commands really well in the back yeard, but as soon as I open the gate to take her outside for a walk, she had a lot of trouble listening to heel, I keep having to say it constantly because she runs ahead because she's so excited for her walk. What can I do about that? Also she gets aggressive around dogs and men except at the dog park. She growls, barks and jumps like crazy and every single time. She gets plenty of socialisation at the dog park though so I'm not sure what the issue is. What do you think I should do about this?

[@AndyKrueger]

My personal opinion I dislike dog parks. A lot. I believe they cause a laundry list of behavior problems. From the sounds of it, it doesn’t sound like she actually knows the Heel command. Have you watched my most recent video? How much time do you spend doing sessions like this with your dog?

[@unknown27669]

@@AndyKrueger no I haven't watched it I'll check it out though. I do training with her almost every day, I do multiple short sessions a day because that's how she seems to learn best. I'm just not sure why she's so well behaved in the backyard and listens to heel so well there, but not in public.

[@AndyKrueger]

@@unknown27669 It is because she does not have the skill set to generalize the command.

[@nancyinthegarden3160]

My 10 month old Belgium gets overexcited also after a good exercise so maybe if you don’t walk her and teach her how to calm down with you. I’ve had my since she was two months. She really calms when I rub belly and behind ears. It just chills her out. I have been working with her walking with me since we got her. She’s only on my left side. We don’t go, unless she’s not pulling. So if you put a link chain up around her ears and walk down the block, not allowing her to pull, stop when she begins to pull and jerk on chain, commanding confidently to heal, back, praise with good boy girl, great job. She loves praise but is motivated by treats. You could bring small chopped apples, and every time he does lots of happy positive calm energy. They also feel and know your energy. If you’re not sure, they know it bc it comes through in your commands. They love focusing on lessons. They need something to learn constantly. My husband taught her to sit, down, paw and he’s not great at discipline but they are willing. We’re the ones that have problems with confidence in discipline our dogs. They are not our babies. I’m a Nanny and I’m crazy in love with babies, but my no, is no. No doubt given. The babies know not to try me bc they will go on timeout. It’s the same for pups.they require guidance or they will go astray. I had a Shepard mix that was very aggressive but if I said it was ok, he knew he better back off or he lost his place with me and I’d put him away. No tolerance for aggression unless situation calls for it. Be sure if what you want form your dog and they will carry it through for you. I say this with true understanding and love for those in our care. Lots of love nurturing and discipline makes for great kids and pets. My cat knew not to scratch on anything but where she was allowed. I think if you begin to watch videos of your breed, you’ll begin to pick up important tips. Take what you agree to be beneficial and truly begin all over again as though you JUST got the dog. Everyday, is a new beginning. We can undo any mistakes. Just be committed, consistent, persistent, and confident knowing you’re the boss with firmness no uncertainty. You are the one in control if the dog gets out of hand. It’s a lesson for us also in our discipline. No anger, no loss of patience. Just know everyday is a new opportunity to teach and it will come through to your dog that you’re going to win the test and he’s going to want to please you. I’m saying this from my own experience bc it’s natural for us to begin to treat them as babies but that’s the wrong idea. They need our rein to align their mindset and determination. They’re highly intelligent and will act up as bored children do when not stimulated in a boring classroom. Keep teaching him and you will be proud of yourself.I’m getting a trainer so I can teach her to jump obstacles for her exercises. I’m not done learning about animals and pets myself so have fun training with you bud.

Andy. I’ve watched a few different trainers videos and I have to say that yours are by far the best. Your enthusiasm and energy coupled with the easy to follow instructions are by far the best. Thanks for making great content. I’ve been researching breeds for a few years now. My experience has been with retrievers who are trained thru the handling level. I’ll be retiring and will have plenty of time on my hand to work with a dog. In my research I’ve ran across several of “what I’ll call the Malinois snobs” maybe you know the type, you should not get a Malinois if …….., you should be experienced with protective breeds before you consider a mal….. etc, etc etc. I’ve never herd you say this and you use reason and logic to back it up. Thanks again.

[@AndyKrueger]

Thank you very much! 🙏🏼 Love to hear this 🙌🏻 Yes I am definitely familiar with the ‘snobs’ haha. I understand not wanting unqualified people to own the breed, but as a pro dog trainer, it’s my job to help new people own any breed of dog, including the Malinois. I have two BIG tips for you! One, find/ meet/ hire a pro dog trainer with tons of Malinois experience, competition experience preferred. Pay them whatever they cost and follow their instruction to a T!! Two, don’t make the mistake of thinking a Malinois needs to be run/ constantly physically stimulated all day. A working dog needs to be WORKED, not just exercised. A good trainer can and will help you establish the difference 🙏🏼

​@@shebab2386 it's probably different for the dog, but I have worn a prong collar and yanked on it pretty hard. First of all, I don't find it painful. Second, I find it less uncomfortable than the same thing with a choke chain or a slip lead. Again, I have a human neck, so take it for what it is.
