@@AndyKrueger Question, Thinking of buying a pup it's in between an American Sentinel Bandogge or Belgium malinois puppy. Do Mals naturally guard, or do I have to do bite work? It's for family protection, please advise.

The prong collar made a huge difference with my two German Shepherd pups. Huge difference from the leather collar.

[@AndyKrueger]

It is a useful tool when used properly 🙏🏼

[@hawkeye98]

Another great video. I have a question. Do you use the two leads and prong collars to teach the dog to heal as you rotate. Thanks brother can’t wait for the training series.

[@AndyKrueger]

Thank you and great question. I do not use the prongs to teach anything 🙏🏼 He already knows the heeling behavior. In this case, layering in leash pressure helps to transition off of food, and makes the behavior more reliable 💪🏼

[@hawkeye98]

@@AndyKrueger thanks Andy. How do you go about teaching them to stay facing forward when you rotate. Or basically stay aligned with the way you are facing. Really enjoy your videos.

Yes definitely!! Only play ON LEASH in close quarters! A hallway or garage/ spar room. If the fog can’t win the toy and bring back from one foot away, don’t try farther! Teach the fun is with you not away from you. A great trainer named Ivan Balabanov has a video called ‘Possession Games’, you should check it out! 👍🏻

[@xxnf99987]

I'm trying to learn as much as possible before I pull the trigger on a new puppy. Had a malinois akc registered pure breed male, he was on crack, raised him from 12 weeks old. I loved him to death but I did everything wrong, I was 19 my gf at the time bought him for me, I did the best I could. Would toss a jolly ball with him to exhaustion and go on 3 walks a day, it wasn't enough. I'm learning the mental disipline/work a mal needs. I'm leaning towards a working german shepherd, more handler forgiving then a mal. Had to rehome Zeus to an ex Army k9 handler so he's good and happy I check on him on social media regularly. I want my own again but gonna do the much required training this time

[@G2performancehorses]

If there was one book you would recommend for training your dogs what one would it be?

[@AndyKrueger]

I actually don’t prefer books for dog training. It is similar to learning to play an instrument; you can read books but you need to see and hear the instrument being played to ‘get it’. I recommend hands on video much more 👍🏻

[@G2performancehorses]

@@AndyKrueger ok thank you for the reply and you videos are great. I am interested in furthering my training and having someone to talk to and advise. I live in Scottsdale az. Are you open to something like this or know someone who is here and can recommend working with so i can be more hands on?

[@bitey_k9s268]

Hey friend. I have a Belgian malinois puppy. How do you build their drive up?

[@AndyKrueger]

The drive is there and will continue to present itself over time. Just create strict structure and keep all interactions very calculated 👍🏻

[@jaetinpopish7521]

what is the reasoning for double prong collars

[@AndyKrueger]

I can give directional guidance in multiple directions at once. See the comments below for more detailed explanation! 👍🏻

[@michaelz8828]

How old is Freddy? Adding in reliability and control now I can see, I'm assuming once the dog has a full understanding and can be trusted with not breaking obedience commands the intensity is added in? speeding up downs, layering in the heel to be cleaner and more intense with the pivots and different paces? Thanks for the content!

[@AndyKrueger]

He’s one year old. I wouldn’t say I will ‘add intensity in.’ He is a very ‘intense’ dog already. His training and ability to perform will be constantly evolving, but I’m not ‘adding’ anything that isn’t already there. If I compare building his training to building a house, right now I have the basement dug and foundation poured. Big progress but not what the finished product will look like 🙏🏼

[@Slideways24]

Prong collars if proper used, dogs will love them. My shepherd knows that it means that we are going somewhere or going for a walk

@@iankern766 I don’t think so, no

[@randallruble7941]

I ike seeing the comparison between (btw) Freddie & Jasper. In addition to Jasper being more "finished" (your words), there appears to be a difference in body confirmation. Freddie is more lean. Is it just age difference? (Freddie is a 'teenager'.) Heritage difference (different parents)? Different feeding regime? Or ... Is Jasper neutered (castrated)?

[@AndyKrueger]

Different genetics and age.

[@AndyKrueger]

All training information is on my website Krueger Canine .com 👍🏻

[@naturallycurlyhair4413]

What’s the point of having two prongs?

[@richspence]

Im guessing its for better head and body positioning given the way he was using the leashes.

[@alxhiding]

more precise directional pressure when it goes too far forward or backwards. the HS prong pressure goes from bottom to top of collar in a single direction on both sides, not in i.e unidirectional circular constriction like a slip, so if you have two, you have two angles of pressure instead of just one. it's no biggy for us mortals, but i'd imagine when you're at Andy's level, its these small things that help fine tune the dogs understanding and make the process smoother. additionally, you can turn one of them back to front so you can communicate precisely when hes facing you without losing the ability to do so while heeling etc, or on the opposite side to teach heeling on both sides at the same time. i'm sure Andy will weigh in on it and correct me if im off though
