UN-TRAINING KEEP AWAY! TEACHING A MALINOIS TO BRING THE TOY BACK!

What's UP everyone! This week I'm coming at you with another training video of my client's dog Fiona! Fiona is an 11 month old female Belgian Malinois who has also been in my past two videos. This session is purely focusing on UN doing keep away and teaching her how to bring the toy RIGHT back instead of taking it far away! This is the FIRST session and I will do countless more just like it! Do not be discouraged at all if your dog doesn't take to this as quickly as Fiona. The key is consistency in repetitions. Same session every day! I only had 3 weeks to train Fiona, but if you're working with your own dog, this may take months to achieve. Especially if the dog/ puppy has already learned to take the toy away. If the dog can't bring it back from 3 feet away, perfectly every time for months, why increase the distance??
DON'T SET YOU PUPPY/ DOG UP FOR FAILURE BY THROWING A TOY OFF LEASH AND HOPING/ PRAYING THEY COME BACK!! YOU WILL CREATE A PROBLEM THAT YOU THEN HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO UN DO!!
More Fiona videos working on this very exercise with different variations will be posted on my PATREON account. Patreon.com/andykrueger
Join and learn how to be the most interesting thing in the world to your dog!
Would love to hear what you think in the comments! Do you like this technique? Does it help with your dog? Feel free to ask any/ all questions, I answer every one!!
HAPPY TRAINING AND DON'T SET YOUR DOG UP FOR FAILURE!!!

Thank you for explaining what you had said in other videos, plus a "plan of action". I had been putting my Malinois on a lead so I could make him bring me the tug or toy. This really clarifies how to work this plan to ensure the dog does bring the item back.

Amazing! that's what i was looking for! 💪 So this will be the first step for any fetching execrcises in the future? I'm trying to learn my Germ-Mal but he is going somewhere else with the you, should I pull him with the leash directly to me? he is going to me but finally he miss me, he is not going directly to me with the toy... any corrections?

[@samanthakauer1521]

Thanks for your explanations! I really love your videos. My 4 month old mal puppy loves this little toy game! Greetings from Germany :) but please, what about your measurement units, I always have to calculate, 10ft = 3m :D

[@joeyprince2910]

Every time I watch one of your videos I get inspired. Especially when it’s something I can work on with my dog. He’ll bring back tug toys all day but isn’t a fan of bringing back balls. I think it’s not as much fun for him.

[@AndyKrueger]

Thank you 🙏🏼 It’s your job to teach the dog it’s just as rewarding to bring the ball back

[@GBots3]

Just Learned that your dog (matrix) and mine share some family! Farouk and Tara are mines grandparents

Did you get him from Romania, or through a breeder in the states like I did?

[@lissetmontoya1796]

I need to do this with my Doberman! She never brings the toys back. My Mal can do that all day long but not my Doby. I'll try tomorrow in my training session with them. Thanks for all the videos you post.

My dog always lays down and chews on the tug or sleeve. How would I stop her from doing so?

[@joncowan8081]

Pure gold! Questions about my Dogo using his front paws after winning the flirt or ball(pins it down hard). Gets to the point we’re I have to use a lot of pressure on his flat collar and then he gives up cause of the conflict. He will bite a tug very rarely (usually when I’m playing with a friend or clients dog). I have had success with just a ball and a 20’ flexi. I’ll try to tug on the ball when he has it a few times then then I run away in the opposite direction. But as soon as a ball on string comes out all his drive is gone.

[@AndyKrueger]

Thanks! Sorry I’m not sure I understand your question(s)… Also please include details about your dog like age and breed 🙏🏼

[@joncowan8081]

Sorry, he is a 1 1/2 year old Dogo Argentino. I can build drive for a toy say with a flirt pole then when he wins he pins is down with his feet very very hard; I use the leash to try and get him moving back to me while I move backwards. (he has been taught and understands leash pressure) Then gives up on the toy because of the conflict.

[@AndyKrueger]

@@joncowan8081 You need an entirely new game plan. Shelf this play for one week, and during that time strategize a way to create a different interaction that prevents the dog from doing this.

[@kiefermeister]

Alright, so I watched a number of your videos on Belgian Malinois dogs. It so happens, that I was asked about 6 weeks ago, do you want a dog? I replied, well, at my age and having had pets a few times in my life, I said no. Then, when I came home, there he was! Rosco is a beautiful, malnourished, and abandoned male Malinois. Apparently, he is about 8 years old. I didn't ask for any of this, yet, when presented, and especially looking him in the eyes, I was not able to resist, how could I? Rosco is very well-behaved, loyal and so loving, and especially craves attention. I have learned quite a bit about the breed since, who he is, and what he needs, which sort of shocked me. I am in my early 60s and don't really have the time for a dog that requires a couple of hours of vigorous activity each day. Still, what he gets today, is much better than anything he probably had and experienced thus far. I try to play with him using a wooden stick that I swing above him, tempting him to catch it. Once he does, we fight over it, which he absolutely loves. One thing is for sure, he wears me out in minutes, ha! At night, I usually spend about 20-30 minutes with him, just being huddled up, giving him my committed affection, and listening to my own music with him for the most part, which he seems to enjoy. After these short few weeks, I think about him, basically every other moment, with which I am saying, that he is a present family/community member. So, my question, do you think, if I apply your presented technique, I would be able to teach him to return the fetched item, even if he is his age?

[@uradumby25]

Andy! Love this video. Our older dog loves keep away so we are gunna work on this with him. With young puppies do you worry about chewing and chew toys in the crate ruining their tug play? I'm talking about toys just to occupy them not anything I interact with them on.

[@AndyKrueger]

Yes I do not give anything like that. I like them just learning to relax better than having to have something 👍🏻

Totally fine! It is natural for dogs to play chase and catch. You just want to avoid that instinct coming out when you are training retrieving! 🙏🏼

Luckily my 8 week old Malinois puppy picked up fetch pretty fast. I started training this indoors in a smaller space. The 10 foot leash will come in handy for some other training though. Where did you buy yours?

How to give e-collar positive and negative training

[@tommyg6742]

What do you do when the dog starts chewing the toy right away. The first initial training idea for the day was teach to bring back but what happens when you have one that constantly chews toy/tug/sleeve right after delivering ?

[@AndyKrueger]

Then the dog is not ready for retrieve yet

Where are you located? I got my first puppy and he is a belgian malinois and i would love to fet some training

[@loreleie.3888]

"That dog's obnoxious." I tried to teach my dog not to jump on me to get the toy. I made him sit then I would throw it. Now he never wants to play with toys with me anymore. The only way I could get him interested in the toy again is if I start letting him know it's okay to jump on me??

[@AndyKrueger]

No, that is not what I’m saying. I’d start from square one and teach your dog how to play.
