Aggressive Malinois tries to attack Dogs and Me

This is our second session with Whiskey and Lisette. We worked on some of the same things in the first session, but today Whiskey showed some of his worst behavior. He lunged aggressively at several dogs and then at me when I corrected him. Remember, I do my dog training sessions without muzzles or helpers. I work with the dog that shows up and always strive to make sure the dog learns from the session.
You'll see that the pinch collar broke at one point, and thanks to my policy of always using a backup collar, no one got hurt. I insist on backup collars whether you're using a pinch / prong collar , ecollar or anything else. We must protect our dog as well as the public, especially with a strong dog like Whiskey.
I have been handling aggressive dog cases for a long time, and each time I focus on fairness over force to make sure the dog learns, the people understand and that the solution / management is clear to everyone. Oftentimes the biggest issues with these dogs is the people who own them. Whiskey is one of these dogs. Lisette is very easy on him and lets him get away with a lot of behaviors, and that usually builds a dog that is confused on structure. Whiskey is a bit needy of Lisette and takes things really personal when she's away. He is protective over her in an unhealthy way. You'll see that a lot throughout this video.
Here's a link to Whiskey's first day of training:
• DOG Aggressive Malinoi...
Training aggression means understanding canine behavior. It is not about dominating dogs or forcing behaviors. It is about understanding and management. The most important thing in these sessions it to get the owner to understand how to handle the dog.... not me. One of the worst things I see is when the trainer shows that he or she can handle the dog, but the dog reverts to the same behavior when the trainer leaves.

One thing that you said in this video that sticks with me is that the corrections aren't "personal". That is so very true and it's something I've always struggled with. When my mali does a behaviour I do not want, if he isn't reacting to the correction, I get annoyed and it comes through in my voice and emotion. And it's the wrong thing to do. I need to be more dispassionate and see it as 'less personal'. It's just how you said that, even after some of the more aggressive behaviour you were dealing with - you didn't overract, you didn't get angry with the dog, you just are saying, 'No'. Thank you for videos like these. So incredibly valuable and shows me I have so much to learn.

[@gibs6004]

This is exactly why I think YOU Robert Cabral are THE single best dog trainer on KZbin. So many people would buy a dog like this without realising the amount of training and time involved. Thanks to trainers like you explaining how complex and demanding these dogs are you’ve stopped people like myself from buying one and making a huge mistake.

[@johnsellers9623]

You’re right. I’ve had 4 good actually I want to say perfect German shepherds. Got everyone of them at 8 weeks old. 3 of the 4 lived past their life expectancy. 13,12,11 and my last one at 6 years old got something wrong with him that close to 7 grand could not figure out what was wrong with him. He would eat all his food but he had diarrhea for about 8 months. You could see his ribs. Special vet ordered food all kinds of tests. So sad it was. He would come next to bed and wake me up 10 times a night. Some times he would just stay hunched over trying to poop but maybe just a little squirt. He was a special dog. Now I have a standard poodle cause my wife wanted no more shedding dogs that were so obedient to me use to drive her crazy. In funny ways. That dog knew the difference between beers he would go take my beer out of 12 pack boxes when sometimes there were 4 different kinds. Any way I really want a mal. But I’m just hesitant because I know how much work it’s gonna take from me. I don’t want the dog not get what he needs. Crazy. ✌️

Good to see. When I got my first Malinois I watch a lot of Robert’s videos he knows his Malinois. I walk four Ferrari’s (Malinois) at the same time, Walk with a purpose, always consistent and ensure I have clear commands. Trained mine with verbal, line pull signals and hand commands. I have two trained as my service dogs and have been working with them for 3-4 years. Malinois are a great breed, but can be destructive and dangerous in the wrong hands. Will continue to refer new owners to Robert Cabral’s videos. I taught mine to ride jet skis and recover me from the water. Been networking with other Malinois service dog owners and have introduce a few to the fun of island hopping on jet skis. Love the breed!

[@RobertCabralDogs]

awesome!!!

[@creepy847]

About 5 years ago I adopted a Malinois that was considered too dangerous to the public. The first thing I did was find Robert Cabral channel. Now Anubis is probably the best dog I've ever taken responsibility for. I spent 38 months with Anubis without more than a day or two of separation. I would dedicate about 2 or 3 hours to Robert's videos in order to help me understand this breed and the right approach to help Anubis and I build a trusting relationship. I owe Robert a big thank you. As a potential dog owner you must think what type of personality you are vrs the type of dog you want. Stay in your lane otherwise you end up giving the dog up and most likely doing the dog more harm than good. Malinois are duty bound a working dog that deserves your utmost attention. There's no 1/2 stepping with this breed and I urge anyone who is thinking about adopting one to research who you are as a person and the amount of time and energy you can commit. I've had many types of breeds in my life, but the Malinois is my personal favorite. A big thank you to you Robert for helping me tame this beast without breaking his spirit...😁

I love how your explain things. As a short 5’1” petite female, I find I need to be more direct and confident with my commands and training. Where as my husband 6’4” & teenage boys same height with deeper voices and way larger in size, have an easier time. I have learned though an amazing trainer to walk with purpose and my head held high. I don’t accept a failed sit or down. We are starting next week to compete in obedience and I have found it has given me so much confidence and my dog too. We started with rally and will continue, so rewarding on so many levels. Our bond is stronger and we have a lot more fun together. I also “did” have the issues with her protecting me which we have managed to correct and solve. I love recording my sessions and finding out where I make the errors and how the little things matter and we don’t always catch them. Just like Whiskey snapping at the owner, hard to pick up on. I’m lucky I can send my trainer videos and he will spot my errors. I have also kept a journal in the past of her behaviour and reactions and my corrections. That was a huge help finding her triggers and her protecting me. Now she is absolutely wonderful, also a bit older 2 years last week. I love your training and combination of training methods. I love what you stand up for and you are making a difference around the world by getting your word out. I have your back, I agree with your methods and see what is happening to the dog training world. Keep up the good work. Helping people, and informing them of what’s to come with changes around the world. I look up to you and I have learned so much form you. Which I love to share with others. I’m egar to learn more.

We went in with the understanding that this may be too much dog for her and may not work out. She was happy to keep Karma or let Emma have her. My daughter got the bonus of making friends with the woman's kids. A month in, Emma's been forced to learn to be confident and firm...and to use a Mom voice lol

As a GSD owner I clearly know Mals aren’t for me as a person no matter how active my lifestyle may be. They are not good everyday pets. Dogs like Roberts dog goofy have consistent and structured advanced training inside and outside of the home that these type of dogs NEED to live happy lives. I’m glad this woman is getting the help this dogs needs but the dog will suffer more in the long run by not having a consistent and confident owner like this woman. She would do and feel much better in her life with a different breed for sure.

[@MickeyBlueEyes2]

I have a friend who has licences to hold all classes of drugs and explosives in small amounts to train sniffer dogs, plus he also works with personal protection and attack dogs, some of those being Malinois. One of his most repeated lines when talking about the virtues of the breed is "They are not pets" they do not like to be idle and need to be worked constantly, they demand a lot of time and effort to keep them happy. Give me a GSD any day.

[@Sonicrockaustralia]

Outstanding, absolute legend, this Mal is beautiful and super faithful, I don’t think people totally understand how complex is navigating their body language and how sensitive dogs are to corrections or punishments, she clearly means good and wants to build a better relationship and I have him understand her and her understand him better, this is crucial, no two dogs are the same and if we truly try and apply the instructions given we would all have better relationships with our dogs, but this is a dynamic situation with a living organism, I am learning so much everyday and this is an amazing demonstration in breaking an old habit from a mature Mal, it is sooooo much harder than one thinks, and yet it is not complex, it’s just making the time and effort everyday, and being at peace within your life within and with all those around you, it makes a huge difference. Thanks Robert for an excellent demonstration 💪🏼

[@claudiacanales2662]

I feel like when Whiskey obeys the commands the owner need to say “good boy” or “yes”! A Malinois or GSD are not easy to deal with. They are wired differently so the owner must have a lot of time to devote to training. Props to owners who don’t give up on their doggies! ❤

[@loyal_dogs]

Totally agree on that! They are said to be easy to train, which is true. They learn tricks and commands fast and are naturally obedient, however are hard to raise. I always had Nordic dogs (Akita, Lapphund, Shiba...) which are stubborn and known to be independant and hard to train. I'm used to them and they became easy to train for me, even my Akita was able to walk off leash and behaving properly since a few months old. I thought my white GSD will be a piece of cake. He's a sweetheart and great dog but to me he honestly was the most difficult to train. Commands and obedience was way easier than with my nordic breeds but generalization and overall manners and proper behavior took forever 😂 but so worth the time as he is very sweet, caring and extremely funny

Great video. This lady appeared have some control in non challenging situations, but seriously needed the fine tuning from Robert in more serious situations to be able to control him. It was nice to hear him call her out when she said that Whiskey felt the need to protect her. The lady appeared to emotionally stronger with him toward the end. There is a lot that can change the dynamics that as the handler. I discovered one of my dogs started acting like Whiskey when I broke my wrist and had minimal use for about 4 months. It was like, my dog knew I was weaker and had to protect me. I wasn’t expecting the sudden change. It was unnerving. I immediately toughened up and went to work to change that behavior as quickly as I could. I didn’t fix it in 30 minutes, but gradually as my wrist healed. So for that, I can relate.

She puts the public at risk. Some things are more important than "keeping dogs out of shelters." She is too tentative and unobservant, and her personality will not change just because of a few sessions with a great trainer. That dog needs an appropriate owner, one who doesn't feel flattered by a "protective" dog. People constantly use "protectiveness" as an excuse for aggression and the consequences have been dire.

A lot of women don’t get protective dogs to feel flattered. They do so I order to walk in the park by themselves and not feel like they’ll get raped, robbed, or killed. I have a working line German Shepherd and I no longer get bothered by strange men when I go on a hike or run. In fact, they cross to the other side of the street. Not saying getting a protective will ward off all evil, but it’s dramatically reduced the likelihood. That being said, this woman is extremely passive and I’m glad she’s getting help. And you’d be surprised how many people do change with a good trainer. I’ve worked in shelters and rescues for years. I’ve fostered dogs, I’ve done agility. It can and does happen even with passive personalities. The biggest thing is for the owners to see that their dog can change by the owner changing their own behavior. It’s like a light bulb goes on. Good luck to this woman.

Just asking. When you have the dog down or sit any walking away Why are you not saying Stay? Thanks

[@LetsgoBrandon-rq2ir]

When giving a command, "stay" is naturally implied within the command. When training they must stay in the command, until you give the release word. For example: My release word is "okay." So if I'm beginning training a brand-new dog, I would first start by giving a small treat of a cheese stick every time they give eye contact. In the beginning stages, hold the treat in-between your eyes as you give the treat. They'll learn to look at your eyes for direction. Secondly I would introduce their name and when they make eye contact, I would give them a treat. Third we would begin to introduce, SIt, Stand and Down motions by luring the dogs nose, into sit, stand, down positions. By creating a ">" motion with your treat hand. (Sit. stand, down, In that order so they learn the habit of not to go from a sitting position into a down position.) Now Introduce the release word every time you feed the treat. After many 5-10 minutes training sessions they begin to understand the positions.. After luring into position several times, we can introduce the command word. Give a treat immediately when they are in position. If not, keep luring them into position with treats. Overtime give them the release word and the treat after they held the position for more than 3-5 seconds. Then try to hold the position for 8 seconds. Another tip: Limit your talking around them so they won't be confused. Also some dogs have a 3- 10 minute attention span, so it's best to train with short training sessions. To train recall command, It works best if you have two people each with treats, calling the dog back and forth.

When I see an aggressive dog like this I have total respect for trainer's

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

I can see a lot of improvement from both of them from the earlier video.

[@2K9s]

Reminds me of Conan. I’m absolutely astonished at the number of people who think they can safely handle a working dog like the Belgian Malinois. It’s kinda gross.

[@rebelrob9637]

Nothing against this lady but i feel like deep down she likes how overprotective and aggressive he is.

[@mafaii]

i am sure, positive only trainers can do this too .. :D:D:D great work robert!

[@Vandal3211]

The nervous energy of this womans body language and her lack of awareness of what the dog is doing is horrific. Sorry Robert, you did amazing, but i don't see her being successful in the future and it's Whisky who will suffer.

[@RC-bl2pm]

How did this lady end up with a malinois? It seems she might have been happier with something easy like a lab or a cocker spaniel?

[@dannykreckman8303]

Great video!!

[@staceygerber777]

Hi Robert. I've been looking for one of your videos similar to this. I have a western working line gsd who exhibits similar behaviours to this dog, but much more intense. She is protective over me and on bad days I can't even get 100m away from another dog without her lunging at them. She had literally dragged me 20m before. I've spoken to so many people, read books and gone to private lessons but nobody has ever been able to improve my situation. There was a time where I didn't take her out of my yard for months because it was so emotionally difficult to deal with her behaviour. I would really please appreciate any advice you can give to help improve her behaviour. I have some ideas based on your other videos but like I said, I can't get even close to what this dog is doing in this video. I would have needed to be on the other side of the field for her even to listen to a sit. Outside of situations with dogs, her obedience is excellent but when there is a dog nearby neither a prong or her training makes it any easier. Please, your advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

[@k9psychology87]

Nice work Robert

[@feldwebel7734]

thats a good f'n dog she got...hope she sticks to it...

[@TrollingHistory]

I cant stand women dog owners who be like with a cheeky grin. "Hes just protecting me" Like thats ok then. Why arent you protecting your dog though? Why are you happy to run the risk of your dog being shot on sight by the city? Impounded and injected. Thats the game you are playing with that dogs life. The dog has no idea but you know. So why are you not protecting your dog? But atlesst this lady brought him to training to try fix it. But she still gets off on it you can tell. 😊he loves me so much hes just protecting me😊 👻 👽 😱 😊 no.

[@dodoriadendeson3323]

Ya, I mean my malinois is a rescue dog. She was seven months and traumatised. However, we could deal with that with so much work. But now that she's two years and is no longer scared of what she used to be scared for, no biting, wall digging or separation anxiety she became hyper protective and would just try to attack anyone who tries to approach any of the family members. I will talk with my family and try this method. The problem is that we have no dog friends to train with.

[@OnYourMarkMalinois]

Balanced training at it's best.

[@susannebolduc9276]

These women need to get it together like seriously it's a dog not a bird

[@jorgeandresgonzalez8254]

In part 1 he wasnt reacting towards you… what changed??

[@apexxscout8098]

My read on this very good little one is that he was attacked by a dog. One tussle and he wiill not forget. Next thought is handler took the dog to the 'dog park.' Dog parks are for people, not dogs. Whiskey is not 'snapping' at the handler, normal behavior and very normal with this dog as he has an edge (which is not a problem). If the large size prong collar fails, handler's fault. Simply make certain that the tines are NOT bent and replace as needed. I always leave a one inch leather flat collar on with the prong above. Once we have dog aggression, keep this training frame short and simple. Six foot leather lease linked to prong, heel him near and past stationary dog (with its handler and on leash) if good, give him the jute bite in this field situation. If he tries to tussle with the dog, handler provided MILD pop and release and heels off while saying 'no.' And the word 'no' is applied mildly, as in no command and leave the field. These dogs feed off their handler and that includes the fact that they read the handler through tense level of voice uses. THAT IS ALL FOR THAT SESSION. Handler leaves field and done for the day. All training work, done at home in fenced backyard, dog in prong, but not used as toy is used for immediate reward or the jute toy. Next week, do the above again. If all good for one pass, then DONE. Do this for the NEXT FEW MONTHS WEEK AFTER WEEK. Below the age of three years, routine expectations take time as these little ones are impulsive until maturity.

Honestly Robert, a 1000 euro for an online course is just to steep for my wallet. Would have absolutely loved to spend a couple of hundred though. Are there any discounts at times?

What was that woman thinking to get a malinois ? Should get a. Chihuahua !

[@DougHinVA]

The woman has her arms folded to reject and is making objections all the time. She does not WANT her dog trained. This is MY comment and not yours... I went through all 3 levels of obedience class and took 3 dogs through CGC certification. I do not want or need any comments unless you are a pro handler.

Anyone watching this to educate yourself for the better of your pet, I love you ❤ more than most would unfortunately

[@dragonryderslair]

Robert is 100% correct.Whisky is a good Mal. He has good obedience. His owner really doesn't understand his mind and has very poor engagement with the dog and this creates confusion and confusion can produce fear or aggression. IF she learns to communicate with some energy an clearly improves her engagement then it fixes her Problem behavior. I think though that a Malinios was not the good choice even with his good obedience.

[@anniwilson2534]

Malinois need clarity and strong leadership. No outlet for that mental and physical energy will end badly. They sense weakness and inconsistency, and ideally need a job to do or they will go self-employed. They are the best dogs though - a bizarre mix of being nails yet sensitive.

[@sylvannafraga1625]

He has tons of energy stored.

[@Planthier76]

Malinois are generelly, sensitive, emotionnal dogs so focus is a huge thing to train with them. Otherwise they can really explode :) !

[@taragreen5952]

My Mal would be foaming at the mouth and lunging the second I put a leash on her. I can't even take her outside the house. Yes, we wasted $2000 on trainers that were terrified of her and it did nothing.

[@michaelcurtis2373]

Did you go with the dog to training or send the dog without you?

[@taragreen5952]

@@michaelcurtis2373 They came to our house for 5 sessions, the other 15 were going to be at a park and they told us, we needed to stay outside the fence and copy what they were doing with the other dogs. Like, WTF, why did I pay you $2000. I don't have that type of money again for another "trainer"

[@MATTIEBOYY88]

Doesn't sound like the dogs the issue in this case simular to the dog in this video, just a lack of leadership. The idea of owning these "working breeds" are great until the actual "work" part comes in then people are all confused as to why their dogs act a certain undesirable way. Management, knowledge PRIOR to getting an animal this demanding.

[@taragreen5952]

@@MATTIEBOYY88 I never heard of this breed when we got her. She was free from a BYB situation at 7 weeks. She will be 5 this November and is a total sweetheart to me and people she is comfortable with. I obviously have been trying to learn and get her better but trainers are Failing us.
