DOG Aggressive Malinois Ecollar Training

[@BD-lj3rk]

But like another commenter said, she realized she needs help and is taking the steps to address. That’s the most important step. I sincerely hope she and Whiskey turn out to be an awesome team.

[@DougHinVA]

The most important step is to get a real pro dog handler and pay attention and stop what you are doing and do what they tell you.... see?

[@dougtilaran3496]

It should be great. Get her to shut up and get the eye contact down pat.Hands are better than mouth....errrrr in some occasions.

[@TeslaNick2]

I love how non judgemental you are Robert. So many trainers shame owners which is really disappointing and not our job. They seek out trainers for help. Anyone who works in the pet dog industry knows how many poorly matched dogs and owners there are, out there. I believe you and I strongly align when I say it's our job to keep dogs in their homes as much as possible and often that involves some level of compromise between meeting the owner's needs whilst maximising the dog's well being.

[@FreddyConde]

All of a sudden I'm seeing so much kindness and edited comments. Looks like Robert's message got across to many of you.

[@brandyb51]

Fantastic patience Robert - this is how many clients start, frustrated, unengaged, unsure or nervous. They don’t realize all the incorrect things that they are doing until someone helps them.

[@johnd23]

I remember taking my shepherd to his first training session. IT was such an eye opener to realise that I needed more training than my shepherd. With time and the help of the trainer (plus repeat viewing of videos like this) everything improved, at least 90% of the time... Respect to the lady, she is earning it.

[@malinoisdogtraining3441]

This is why I say, "A Malinois is too much dog for most folks." The fact that she sought a trainer is awesome. She and her dog will succeed .

[@TheMtnbikr61]

Totally agree

[@Ponygirl1111]

Some breeds just aren’t really meant to be “pets”. I have a Euro Doberman that is way too much dog for me, and I thought that I knew what I was getting into, and thought that I could handle it….especially since having multiple Dobermans in the past. But this one comes from champion protection sport lines, and I didn’t research as thoroughly as I thought I did, and the Breeder wasn’t very informative either. Anyway, I take full responsibility for my mistake, and my life revolves around MANAGING this dog, who is akin to walking around with an assault rifle. Even though Dobermans are easy to train, I realize that you can’t train “out” what was bred “in”. I can only imagine what people would say if I ever put myself out there in public with this dog. His prey drive is so over the top, that it’s so difficult to override.

[@johnwilsonwilsom3154]

I give her a lot of credit she has a Belgian Mal I'm an old Nam plus vet Specal forces and I have a Belgian Mal he is 7 months old and he is killing me but he is in my heart and soul he comes from the same blood line as the Mal that took down Ben Laden enough on that part to much said young lady you are great with your Mal

[@malinoisdogtraining3441]

The fact she sought out a trainer is great. If she has the time and is willing to learn.. She will be successful. I'm wishing them both good luck and success.

[@vikingdogmanship]

​@@Ponygirl1111 Never seen a american dobie here before. Only euro dobies. All of them have been well socialized and are great dogs. They just need ALOT to be happy dogs. Bikejouring is my number one go to, (if the dog is healthy and in the right age) It create amazing bond and makes the training alot easier. They need an outlet

[@lakers4life454]

Good for her to seek your help. If she continues the lessons she’ll be successful with her dog. Excellent video

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Yes, thanks 🙏🏽

[@theseahagg]

Thinking that the lady in the video may possibly lack in needed self-confidence, yet she seems quite accepting of Mr. Cabral's instruction. If she continues in regular training sessions with Mr. Cabral & consistently home trains according to his philosophy & methods, her own self confidence as a Malinois owner & trainer will probably show vast improvement.

[@Mari-te4cc]

Mr. Cabral you have an amazing channel! I want to thank the owner for letting us see this training session. Unedited REAL interactions and challenges are a priceless learning tool for the whole community.

[@BBAMEG]

I know everyone is giving the woman a hard time, but personally, most of my clients are exactly like her. They are so intent on getting the dog to do something, that they just yell out a bunch or commands like a machine gun. She is as distracted as the dog. It would be interesting to see if she follows up with anything Robert told her.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Exactly! 💯

[@keeifers1233]

There’s also a level of frustration coming from her which leads to barking a 100 commands with no follow through/guidance. Never work in frustration, training’s never personal

[@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions]

@@keeifers1233 yes - she needs to be more relaxed in her firmness.

[@anniwilson2534]

Lovely Mali. They need strong, calm leadership. The owner will have to learn that in order to build that relationship. I’d bet Robert mentioned her use of multiple / confusing commands too in her session. Dogs need clarity and consistency. Not being judgemental here as we’re all learning with our dogs no matter what our experience, but the owner needs training as much as the dog. Good on her for seeking help. Well done Robert for demonstrating excellent use of the ecollar too.

[@mimi7914]

she is being put on the spot though with Robert being a very welll known trainer and her being on camera to thousands!! Of course she would be nervous and probably not acting like she would normally

[@craniumrex4614]

Thanks to this lady for letting us watch this. Great example of building a relationship. I can sense her frustration but could definitely see how the she and Whiskey were doing better. I love seeing the “macro” of it and admire her commitment, both in seeking the right help and for not giving up - three years with a dog like that could not have been easy

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Well said!

[@katinacobb2814]

Don't be hard on the Lady! At least she's getting help which is more than I can say for 90% of other people!

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Exactly 💯. Thank you.

[@Xoxojksn]

Love that she’s getting help NOW but let’s not forget that people know better at the end of the day. She is completely frustrated and having a Mal for three years who behaves like this and seeing her level of frustration with him you can tell she didn’t do her proper research prior to getting him, nor put in actual foundational work when it was most crucial as a puppy. It broke my heart for the dog. She seems like as much as she’s trying in this session, she’s still mentally checked out and disconnected from the dog. She needs a lap dog or a lower drive dog to feel not only better about herself but about her relationship with her dog as well. I don’t see her being consistent with what this dog really needs for his lifetime. I wish them well…

[@hatchick2453]

Kudos to Whiskey’s mom for coming to you for help. I was in her shoes when I had a large rescue dog, so I really admire her for doing what it takes to get the situation sorted out. And thank you both for letting the rest of us learn from this session! God bless.

[@johnolsen394]

Good video. I’m glad you basically left it unedited to mistakes. Most people aren’t professionals. The other side of this is the people leave dogs tied out and basically get out of control. Props to her for getting help and having it recorded. Thanks. It helps us all.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

[@shaecloud4403]

"its a command, not a request" best advice ever given on any training video. Basically a catch phrase for the subject of dog training.

[@taramc955]

Excellent video! Staying calm and bonding with your dog is hard to do when you are frustrated and don't have the tools to get the results you're looking for. I'm glad you gave her the tools she can use to create a fun space to train her dog. Good for her for expanding her knowledge!

I became a student member of your training website. Thank you!

[@weallmakechoices7456]

I hope this lady comes to love her dog and bond with him. She seems completely detached and gives an air of annoyance and irritation. Whiskey, on the other hand, looks a cracking dog. He's upbeat, energetic, friendly and smart, the opposite of his owner. They seem very mismatched.

[@Alfonzo862]

This woman talks to the dog as if she was talking to naughty kids. No wonder that dog is not listening to her or following her commands. I wouldn't want to be attacked by a big dog where the owner is not in control! Good job Mr. Robert.

[@jackiegarcia3364]

Robert is great. As a trainer people who are matched with a dog that doesn’t fit their lifestyle/culture need help. If this matching could have been prevented in the first place that would be ideal and have her be directed to a different breed. Regardless of breed she needed lots of help and makes very common owner mistakes which dogs of any breed will blow off and not take you seriously. It blows my mind that people with limited skill set buy a Malinois. I just don’t understand why people think that makes a good pet. You have to be an exceptional owner/trainer to make a Malinois a good pet. The super hero of dogs doesn’t belong in most people’s homes. I purchased a purebred working line border collie and specifically was looking for a medium energy border collie. That’s what I got and I saw that when I met the litter. Still a working line dog that requires more time and commitment than a lazy house pet dog who is content with a casual walk and cuddling on the couch. It’s just frustrating to see but glad the owner is committed to her dog. What’s worse is people getting these dogs and dumping them at shelters. Very common with working breeds especially German Shepards. Get them when they are cute and get rid of them when they are difficult. My neighbors just got rid of their cattle dog who they would leave in the yard all day since it was a puppy even in winter, below freezing. They finally got sick of the dog. I wanted to rescue that dog. Mindless yard life is not suited for a cattle dog. People wonder why their dog barks all day, digs holes, destroys their property when it is outside all day. Being outside in a yard is not enough mental or physical stimulation for most dogs. I am proud I stopped someone from getting a Malinois. My bf’s mom wanted one after meeting a sweet senior former military K9 bomb detecting Malinois and she wanted a dog just like that. Told her that is definitely not the norm. Those dogs are insane. Plus that dog lived a fulfilling life and had purpose. She rescued a sweet super mutt instead who fits their lifestyle and is wonderful with the grandkids.

Had to watch after seeing your ladt one on the comments she got. I give her tons of credit. Number one she's no worse then 90% pet owners number 2 she's looking for help and willing to do the work. If people didn't know Ivan and you made a video people would bash him. Unfortunately that's the way society is now. Like to see follow up from her down the road. Nice looking dog

[@joyfulk9services]

For sure. So many cues, he's tuning her out. "Leave it" and then "focus" he barely looked at her, but snatched the treat very habitually. I think then allowing him to get the thing initially he was to leave alone makes it confusing, especially if you end up using "leave it" for passing a dog for example, he may think he only has to leave it temporarily-instead she should give the reward from her and pickup the food she left. Or reward with a tug which being a Mali he would likely love much more lol more value built in her as the handler. I think as well, there was no accountability when he didn't sit the first 2 or 3 times...just a "tssst" sound and command repeated. I think for sure just some clarity tuning up is needed. Most of the time it is a clarity or a motivation issue. I think a little of both here.

[@yoliebean]

She gives him a ton of commands all at once. I even got nervous. I hope they both get help.

[@zzc8505]

I am fairly new to dog training and learning so much from Robert here. But I agree with other commenters that it does look like the dog is average excitable, no particularly "aggressive." But to be honest, with the woman's tone of voice, her vocal intonations, just the way she even simply talks to Robert, I'd be anxious and nervous if I had to deal with her (even if that was just a store clerk, I'd try to avoid her and have another clerk help me). Animals, dogs in particular, pick up a lot on their human's personality and energy, and if the human is so snarky, irritated, uneven, sounding hostile etc., no wonder an already upbeat and excitable dog would feel so anxious and aggressive, and would need to release all that pent up stuff, and obviously the only way he can release it is by taking out on other dogs. In fact, in brief initial interactions with Robert the dog seems a bit calmer and more receptive. But i'd give her credit for seeking help. I hope it all works out for the dog.

[@kevinschuiteboer6367]

Hi Robbert if I want my dog to come back to me can I use the electric caller I have been putting the collar on shock because the other tones do not seem to be working I have it on low level it doesn’t hurt him but he knows I mean business only if he is on a long line like recall or if he is in the house

[@Noahsark17]

I know I sound like an asshole, but I will repeat this till the end of time. Why do civilian people with no idea of handling a dog, get a strong drive herder? Start with a basic breed dog, or mutt and build yourself from that point; the fact that these dogs have become popular is a dangerous trend.

[@Ponygirl1111]

I hate to say this, but indiscriminate breeding is a big part of this problem (like most breed problems). I have a feeling that she rescued this dog, and did not seek out a Breeder. There are so many Mals in shelters because of over breeding, breeders not placing pups with knowledgeable owners, and the fact that these dogs were never meant to be pets….they are too much for the average person.

[@zzc8505]

@@Ponygirl1111 while the problem if irresponsible breeding does exist, it appears that too many human mistakes/irresponsible "ownership" are labeled as an example of irresponsible breeding. While I am relatively new to dog training, I am not new to animals, both domestic and wild. And I see it time and time again how an animal's supposed "temperament"/"trait"/"etc. gets blamed for human "mismanagement." Granted, animal temperaments vary just as much as human, but 9 out 10 serious problems in human-animal interactions stem from humans' failure in one way or another. Just like with children: it depends on who raises them and who teaches/trains them.

[@jeffk464]

@@zzc8505 Nature vs Nurture, the truth is its not one or the other. Genetics plays a huge role in health and temperament, but a really good handler can work with bad temperaments and a really bad handler can make a dog with good temperament poorly behaved.

Do not know what is harder, teaching the lady or the dog

[@stevenglock]

She’s the problem. No control, no authority

[@dropmeA]

I'm glad she's getting help, she shouldn't have a Malinois; her personality doesn't meld well with one.

[@huntzoeken]

His dog aggression seems very mild, so should take no time to correct

[@jonatannilsson1563]

To me this just looks like a boring handler, a handler who's never engaged in obedience, and every time he's done anything right it's like the lowest of the low good boy.....

[@dougtilaran3496]

Timing with the other POS shep is CRITICAL. 2 seconds to late and "that DOG lit me up. Ima gonna shred it ! " NOOP. First hint of interest to mutt. Hit it, and head the other way. Not a word ! Had 180 dirt bikes on the farm next door @ 630 AM. All hell got ready to break loose. I nailed her azz and made us scrambled eggs with beef(immediately. US). She's on the porch chilling now/all day watching wheelioes and listening to ringy-dingy KTM's and suff(410 here now... math ?). 5 1/2 month old female Fila.Hmmmjm maybe I should have gone on ebay for dirt bike parts, opened the gate and told her CATCH ! LOL. She will, in a heartbeat. Timing. 3 idiots were pulling in at 640 or so and I did the "correction" dozens followed. Didn't even look. Farted a couple times tho....lol

[@Chrisha80]

Come on! He's not agressive....

[@mimi7914]

not at all!!😅

[@Chrisha80]

​@@mimi7914 Exactly my point😂

[@Juanissleepy]

What a handsome malinois🤩

[@aky19832001]

I’m surprised he hasn’t bitten her seriously yet. She’s in over her head with this dog. He’s stressed out and she’s anxious. He’s actually very well tempered and no where near as wired as other BM we’ve seen on here.

[@daveskolnick9643]

Just me personally, I find it much easier to condition the ecollar 1st off on a street service due to the smell distraction factor. 2nd I am trying to establish a communication so i wouldn't be in a dog park. I need the dog to initially focus on what im trying to teach them before adding all of these distractions. I will do this for at least 1 to 2 days. When the dog shows me they understand the connection, i can now add distractions. Whats the hurry, and why make it more difficult? And as Robert said, make sure the prong collar and ecollar are positioned and fitted correctly and you know the dogs working number is tuned in.

[@BD-lj3rk]

Handler is in way over her head. She should’ve bought a Camry but got a Ferrari. Dominant, intact, higher drive dog. Yeesh. Im glad she found an amazing trainer - for her sake and Whiskey’s.

[@Bettyalford-h9l]

Do not use a prong collar, all you have to use is a slip collar properly and correct your dog at the appropriate time.

[@mimi7914]

For starters, this is not an agressive dog !! You should see my German Shepherd in terms of other dogs , this dog is nothing!!! Secondly, this woman shouldn't have been put on camera, clearly she is nervous and is tryiing her best to show that she has trained the dog to the best of her ability to thousands of people! Of course she would be nervous and with such a big dog( and supposedly challenging) not a good idea to go on camera.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@s.b.5259]

What an angry woman. Why does she have a mal? Seems like she just wanted a big, immobile, boring dog to show off. She should have gotten a stuffed animal. Hes obedient, but frustrated because she hasn't given him a job to channel all of that maliness into. That's just a lot of lightning she's trying to keep in a tiny bottle, no wonder he doesn't want a relationship with her. She's annoying!

[@ABCdogtraining802]

wrong dog, wrong home but lets see what 30 days does, lol. He is not obedient, almost every command is repeated and broken before released, lol. Time to go back inside and start over....very bad training here, im disgusted robert is using an ecollar with this case...negligent.

[@s.b.5259]

@@ABCdogtraining802 id wager a bet that he's literally never been introduced into the concept of a break lol. He obeys readily when he thinks something is worth doing though, which is what I meant by obedient, that and I was surprised by him almost wanting to stay near the lady. She's got a good dog there, if she developed a relationship with him and worked with him rather than just trying to tamp down any behaviors he has besides "quietly exist by my side"

[@raoulamores2167]

The owner needs more of the training rather than her dog.

[@Beaureads24]

She doesn’t understand her dog and frustrated

[@Klugschieterin]

She is a beginner - and a really good one - taking responsibility for her dog This responsibility is missing by the most of the other owners even if they are with another kind of dogs

[@pauldow1648]

Amazing. Not the dog for a nervous lady. Oh. Well....

[@corinnetodd4807]

Her energy is not calm and confident from what I see

[@DESCENDINGDR]

Even her positive reinforcing gestures are whiny. The dog is fine, put the e-collar on her...

[@adrianrichards247]

Hey guys ….let’s not assume everyone who comments on here is a dog expert . I’d love to know ….why did she pick this breed of dog , is this here first dog, ….and let’s be honest if it is she needs to be calmer and more authoritive.

[@carina9629]

@@adrianrichards247 also she would have known she was being filmed and maybe that changed her behavior. She might have been extra extra shy which confused Whiskey

[@annabell3385]

She is the kind of woman who should have a yorkie, imo. That's a powerful dog and she is going to be the cause of some other poor dog or a person getting hurt.

[@kat7011]

Obviously, she’s the “Kind of woman” who cares and taking responsibility by hiring a fabulous trainer and investing her money, time and effort in training her dog because, she’s that kind of woman!

[@ABCdogtraining802]

@@kat7011 a fabulous trainer would be inside the home re training this dog on a flat collar or slip lead....the dog is clearly not ready for distractions and impliminting an ecollor on top of crap obedience and engagement is negligent. she wants to help the dog, which i love...but she must start over...inside.

[@jeffk464]

Oh come on, you don't have to get a lap dog. Her personality is better fit for labs, retrievers, spaniels, but that describes most people.

[@zzc8505]

Anna Bell. that would be one poor yorkie. The woman appears to be overall an anxious, aggravated kind of person, even as she talks to Robert, her voice sounds that way. That would be one nervous yapping yorkie

[@MastahDriver]

it's amazing how clueless the owners are just watching her interact with the dog and talk with the dog is all wrong. She repeats her self and her hole tool setup on the dog is wrong. she never read a dog training book. you don't need a trainer ladies and gentleman u can do it yourself read the books and apply what you read to the dog

[@sandrahummelberger6892]

I don't think it is a good way for a dog aggressive dog to use an e-collar to make it uncomfortable for him to meet other dogs. It might increase his aggression in the long run. By the way, that dog doesn't even look dog aggressive to me, only interested, which ist only natural as it is his own species. Obeying commands and socialisation with other dogs are two different things. E-collars definitivly don't help with socialisation and there are better ways to teach a dog to obey commands.
