Malinois Puppy Training Lesson One

Malinois puppy training tips!

[@AndyNg415]

You know you have an awesome job when you say things like “now I’m gonna go get some more puppies.”

[@MayMay-db1ec]

Andy i love this puppy

[@lorih379]

For reals !!

[@StonnieDennis]

Start slowly, reward him for just looking at you for the first few days. As his attention span increases, you can gradually increase the difficulty of your exercises. Also, pre training exercise really helps with some puppies.

[@frankiea3752]

What is the best kind of treat? I'm getting my boy in 2 weeks i can't wait! Very excited. I just want to make sure i am 100% ready for him and do what i need to do to train him

[@Victorr_-nv8jn]

Frankie A how is it with a malinois?

[@GTWCS14]

Use kibble…the goal is to ensure you are the source of all good things.

[@highendtrends3508]

This guys videos are so helpful. Not only coaching you on how to train the puppies but how to understand them better.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

This is exactly what I'm doing with my puppy that is about the same age as yours. I got him on Wednesday. This breed is great for training and I love how easily they learn! Mine was more reserved in the beginning but still always keeps his tail up, then once he's settled in he's looking for things to chew and is starting to test me to see what he can and can't get away with. He'll start off chewing his toys and then try to sneak and chew his bed or my pillow, or a shoe. It doesn't take much correction to stop him though as he watches for my reaction. Usually just saying "Uh" and giving him a look gets him to stop.

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

New sub here. As a trainer of some 45 years this is so great to see. So many breeders don't even bother handling the pups let alone start the training as you do. I give you loads of respect for this. The last pup I bought had no handling at all and very high drive ,so was a biting monster for a while. Now at 16 months she is amazing but it has taken loads of work every day 5/6 times daily. Well done :) Look forward to watching many more of your videos. Lovely pups to. Thank you .

[@64wing]

"now I'll go get some more puppies" can I come too?!

[@MayMay-db1ec]

64wing me too

[@egomaniac247]

Wow, great work. You have an excellent way with these dogs. I saw dog #3 get up on the table and instantly thought "uh oh, an unconfident dog...he won't learn as quickly"....within 30 seconds you had that nervous dog performing the basic steps. Amazing work - you really know what you're doing.

[@LifeisbetterwithaMalinois]

Thanks Stonnie, got my 4 month Malinois puppy last week. Training going well...keeping to your motto...a tired dog is a good dog

[@JodyRaines]

It fascinates me how different the personalities of the puppies can be! Love the fact that with patience, each pup responds to the training in their own way. I enjoy the way you modify the training to respond to the needs of the puppy's personality. I agree it's important to match the personality of the pup to the prospective owner.

[@kittybambi25]

Watching your videos is just amazing. Your methods are fantastic! It's good to know that there are really people who use a kind and gentle hand in the training of pups.

[@wolffoley6330]

God, SPOT ON!!! You are nailing the Essentials of Training, IE; The Patience Needed, The Tolerance Needed For EACH Personality, describing that each dog has a different temperament and the way an owner should choose a puppy which should be based on temperament NOT looks. A+!!! Thanks for making such a GREAT video about training. YOU'RE AWESOME!!! Wolfy :)

[@hannahtimothy4359]

I might be getting a Mal or a German Sheppie, and your video really helped me a lot with what to expect, especially in understanding that you have to realise when a puppy is working hard, even if he is having trouble. Thanks!

[@apexxscout8098]

Thank you. At 7 weeks I begin all three areas of Schutzhund with agility course all for food, no corrections. You'll be stunned what these babies can do.

[@XxXcyclonaXxX]

Your videos are amazing!!! I LOVE your answer to the above bite question. Thank you for all the time and skill you have put into teaching and recording!

[@IrieSoulProductions]

Thank you for these videos. I just adopted a baby Mal, she’s so smart, she’s getting me out of the house twice a day at the park. They are amazing! Thank you again for the tips and tricks.

[@rebeccajennings4585]

Thanks Stonnie for this thoughtful share. I regard your patience while reading each individual behavior traits & throughout the training process. Very kind...

[@apexxscout8098]

+Rebecca Jennings yes, patience and thinking where the pup is at are critical. No rushing.

[@Demetra92]

Just got a female malinois puppy, 1.5 m.o.Going to start this training,thank you so much!

[@lexinitro]

I highly recommend a GS ive had 12 over my 60 yrs of life and just adore them. So easy to train, so loyal and loving. Good luck everyone.

[@MayMay-db1ec]

lexinitro wow that’s totally amazing if only you could give me aome of them hehe

[@MrUgurt1]

Many thanks for the instruction and motivation. I used your techniques for my 2 months old Akbash Anatolian shepherd. She learned "sit" in 5 minutes, and then "down and up"! We continue thanks!

[@trapkoala8901]

It has been many years since this comment, how is your girl doing now? I imagine she must be quite large by now!

[@JorieFrancis]

I have a new Cavalier puppy got her at 8 weeks and now 10 weeks. I stumbled on your videos and found these to be wonderful guides to my training. Stonnie I love the way you train in such a positive playful way, best I have ever seen. I hoping to find your guide to leash training as we are just beginning in the gentlest way possible

[@luisleslie1]

George is doing great. He is a natural talent, hardworking, brave, patient and cute too!

[@sgtellioman]

Following this training series gave me a Malinois that is a genuine service dog, and the best dog I have ever owned. This man is a godsend.

[@monicawall6789]

It made my day to finally watch a training video with Mals that didn't have aversive training methods!! Bravo! Love love love this video! Subscribed :)

[@anilbeharry]

Fantastic Video. Thank you for this production. Keep it coming and keep up the good work!

[@Brando511]

Fantastic video! I'm not a trainer, just a dog owner that has spent a lot of time with their dog in training (I have a chow chow, but I love the malinois). Your approach to dogs is not only technically proficient, but also shows a lot of care for such beautiful creatures. Way to go!

[@dmd27749]

Really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work!!

[@HoneyDubey23]

Your a very good trainer & I like how you take care in placing the puppies in the right homes

[@digitalproducteducation]

Simply put: The best video that my husband and I have seen in training puppies! Husband tried it immediately while we were watching the video with a completely different breed and it WORKED! All he did was have our puppy follow his hand, and she went into positions that we have worked on with her for months!

[@BullRonin]

Very informative. I took in a stray that seems to be a mix between a Malinois and a Boston Terrier. This vid was a great help.

[@lemarali8276]

this guy is a genius it really works!! i got 3 month old hollandser herdershond and he learned it so quick this way

[@E85LONEFOX]

Stonnie Dennis watching your video makes me feel confident about training one. I always wanted a Belgian Melinois.

[@annempost]

Stonnie Dennis, thank you for this peek into the training of an heroic working dog. The dogs are amazing, thank you for your service.

[@VC30577]

Thinking of getting a Malinois soon. Your videos are a great inspiration! Keep doing it for all your viewers! Thanks :D

[@voodoounix]

I m from Brazil, I bought a mali, I love your videos and I watch them everyday. Thank you very much for your efforts.

Amazing video and adorable puppies! We are getting our first GS/Belgiun Mal in a couple weeks! Looking at all the videos I can to train myself to train her. We always had GSs. :)

That last puppy was huge! ❤️🐾🐾

[@danb7958]

Brilliant, thank you! First time owner and this is going to be invaluable

[@menopassini9348]

You know more about dogs then 99 % of the so called Expert You Tube Dog trainers. I have a Shy and Alpha 5 month old GS puppies your video gave a lot of insight how to train them. Thanks

[@markleamer1775]

Stonnie I've watched some of your puppy videos and must say they are EXCELLENT. I've been training shepherds and malinois for 40 years and you explain, stress & demonstrate important points very well. A job well done!! I'm going to share with my friends on FB.

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks!

[@markleamer1775]

Stonnie there are a lot of bullshiters out there as you well know. I've been doing this for 40+ years and I'm glad you get a lot of views on your videos because you provide real good common sense information. Once again, well done!

[@JaegerAndBrooke]

I'm getting a Belgian Malinois Shepherd cross Saturday, this will definitely help me! Thanks!

[@tinythegsdinactive2365]

I used to ignore this breed, but I've been seeing more and more about them. They're beautiful! 😘

[@georgefrattarelli7978]

Stonnie, I've trained dogs on and off for 6 years. Mostly off, due to shoulder and back injuries I love to watch others who use the dog's energy and temperment to adjust to how to train the puppy or older dogs. I love shephards and malinois, so thank you for your highly instructive video. Full disclosure: I do not know Stonnie at all, just found his terrific video after searching Malinois here.

[@StonnieDennis]

George Frattarelli Thanks for watching!

[@smallnuts2]

George Frattarelli for puppy training, how long and how maby repetitions should I do a day?

[@justblakie5338]

I just got a malinois 3 days ago, I named him Specter :) 14 weeks and he's one hell of a puppy ,long walks to tire him out and hell lot of zoomies and I'm going to watch every video so I can train my boy

[@SmittyTuck]

VERY impressed!!! were looking to get a Malinois in due time after our Cane Corso expires, I hope your still breeding when were ready!!!

[@Thc_N-fused]

So glad I found your channel will be using these to train my Mal Aussie cross

[@NearlyParamount]

Cool video man! You're obviously very knowledgeable with these puppies. It's interesting to see their different personalities. I'd love to have a German Shepherd or Malinois some day.

[@JP454757]

You are a awesome trainer and the kind of person I would look to buy a puppy from. I will keep your kennel in mind. Don't change a thing about your train style.

Stonnie, great videos. Picking up my pup next week. What do you use for treats? And can I use a Home Depot apron instead of a Lowes? Just kidding I use them both. Thanks

[@StonnieDennis]

Yes, you can email me if you would like details.

[@mexa_t6534]

These are my dream dogs. I do want to be a bit more experienced with high-energy dogs before getting one cuz I know these are particularly challenging, but someday i do wish to be up to that challenge

These are excellent videos

[@cashfaithbiz]

Love your methods.

[@ahhahhhhyeah]

thank you for taking the time to make the video's, it has really helped with training my Malinois pup. i have a few questions if you dont mind. 1: what are you using as reward treats in the video and how much are you giving at a time? 2: I got my girl at 11weeks (she 12weeks now), i work with her everyday and have got sit, stay, no and release commands down but come and down are intermittent (her focus i believe), are we far behind the curve at this age with commands? 3: i crate her every night and make her take naps inside as well (i leave the crate door open during the day naps), is this suggested? 4: at 4 months we will be going to k9 academy for both general obediance and protection training, what would you suggest she should be trained in before our first day? you may get im just nervous we are behind on training for the age but yet i understand i cannot cram everything at once as well. many thanks, Paul & Ghost

[@cindylimas7291]

Thanks for that video on the malinois puppies ,How to train them ,I have a 12 week old male puppy.He is a handful.Very energetic.Will try stuff on video .Thanks God Bless.🐶🐩🦊

Great video, enjoyed it a lot.

[@510mundo]

I'm getting my first Malinois this week!!!!

[@lanceflint301]

Hello Stonnie Dennis! First, I love the videos you've been posting. Targeting is a fairly new concept to me, even though my family has had dogs most of my life. We are looking into getting a Belgian Malinois, and I've been interested in training our pup like this. I've read that 16 weeks is the max you can probably train and socialize a dog. Would you agree or disagree with that? If you disagree, how long would I possibly have? Thank you so much!

[@HondenBegrip]

Very helpful video, going to have a female soon myself.

[@MayMay-db1ec]

kasoy1 then give me some of her puppies when she gets pregnant haha

[@theonlinedogtrainerreview5747]

Wow so much great info on your channel

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks. What kind of channel do you have? Do you watch dog training videos and review them?

[@kandiricciardi4096]

You seem to very knowledgeable when it comes to these puppies. I am a new owner and my Mal "Chase" was more on the reserve side when I got him at 4 months old. He's almost a year now...I recently began watching your videos for training tips etc. I had some behavior trouble at first... Chase was very "Skittish " of others. I noticed in your video that most of the reserved puppies were males and the energetic puppies females? Is that common?

[@deboerdaan]

Ty stony very helpfull video, big thanks from Daniel from holland )

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks!

[@lazylama1014]

I'm having to feed my 12 Cur pup at least once a day to get that kinda food drive. I will keep trying, still working on that outside potty thing!!

[@murderousintent1426]

Man you have the best job ever

[@svetlanatruefamtisaj8498]

Awesome smart puppy's!

[@ComplexMeaning]

My family and I just adopted a Malinois from a rescue and didn't know it at the time and conveniently enough a Malinois was the dog my mom wanted! She's extremely energetic and is very vocal. We think she's around 8 weeks which makes the timing of me finding your videos perfect! any must know tips for raising her?

[@StonnieDennis]

Thanks, it's not that I am against compulsion in training though. As these puppies mature I will try to give you guys some insight on what I consider to be the appropriate role of compulsion in the training process.

[@michaelharrity9795]

Love the malinois
