Wow that is great to hear! I’ve had two males at different times, & the second one lived to be 14, he was still alert as could be but the poor guys legs were just done. Early on if I had him outside while I was using the push lawn mower, he would literally latch on to one of the front wheels with his choppers & play tug of war with a running lawn mower. No fear whatsoever! I sure miss him but at this stage in life I doubt a third one would be feasible considering how the first two were earlier on.

A good trainer makes their interactions with their dogs look effortless. What we don't see are the countless hours that person has put into practicing that bond, commitment, and training. How they have to challenge that dog daily with new enrichment activities, or run with them for an hour before the day even starts. These dogs are gorgeous powerhouses and they deserve respect.

[@cyberfux]

Funny enough, my GSD/Malinois mix INSISTS on coming with me - he's a little car crazy! I was able to cancel the theft insurance for our copper plumbing stuff - he just lays down in the van and offers to eat any thief ;-) Or cuddles with my coworkers when they get stuff out of the van... Or flirts with the girls walking by... BUT he deters any wannabe copper thief!

[@sheilamarshall1734]

I have a 6 month Dutch shepherd. What you put in, you get out. I get woke up at 5 am, sit up & take her for her 1st walk. Before I go to bed, I set her toys up to find when she wakes up while I get dressed to walk her. Every day, I change it up. These dogs are wicked smart.

[@surreshguhan6033]

I've had two malinois and honestly we never trained them to be precise guard dogs or anything. They were just our dogs. When they were juvenile they were biting everything but we realised with the first malinois that its almost like juvenile behavior and it can last for almost up to 3 years of age. Our second malinois was much easier on that part as she was only biting for about a year plus and by the time she was 3 she was fully dignified young lady. Honestly i find them an easy breed. Lovely dogs and honestly with how my parents raised them, they really don't need much thought to it. If you're a dog person, that's enough. The loyalty of the malinois will ensure that even if you don't discipline him or her well, they'll always know you as their owner. Super loyal dogs, when they are scared and aggressive at the vet, only the owner can calm the malinois. The way we raised them was to the point where if we put our hands in their food bowl while they were eating, they'd be almost humored by it and patiently wait while wagging their tail for us to remove our hand. All in all it wasn't anywhere as annoying as raising our English Cocker Spaniel. Like seriously malinois are easier than cocker spaniels. That's how good of a breed it is. If you're a dog person, you'll be fine.

[@Sebastian-ul2si]

Hi, you might not see this, I live on a 600 square metre block and about 200 square metres for the dog to run around on, everyday I can I would love to go to my local oval and run with the dog, do you think I should get one? Found one on gumtree and it’s beautiful

[@Nostalgic_reminders]

[@BlueDauntless]

I doubt it. I’d trust Garret over this post any day. And this mindset is the reason why so many people get dog breeds they aren’t prepared for.

[@CertifiedSnip3r]

Dude I have to disagree. Mine just turned a year old and I only had to train her 2 months and she does any and everything I say. She’s a super dog honestly. We just had a baby and she absolutely loves her to death. Yes they have high drives and energy but as long as you provide the love and attention they need mixed with the proper room to run and play they are PERFECT!!!

[@itsnoterica]

Honestly the same can be said for most working dog breeds. It’s insane that you have to explain to ppl that puppies don’t come out of the womb perfectly trained

[@thepromisedlandjeoutdoor]

xD so true.

[@IxoraNera]

Looking at idiots who bought dogs during the pandemic and when GOT was airing(huskie) and then threw them at the street because they can't handle a dog, it's better to give that warning to those idiots.

[@user-zc6ug3qh3z]

Also it really depends on how you go about these type of dogs. Enough work dogs like BC and Shepherds are happy with some nose work, play time, normal walks and some chewing toys/treats and are WAY calmer than most poodles. And they are smart enough to learn not to chew up your house or steal your socks so easy training.

[@Scouse.Malinois]

And an important point is even when trained they are still assholes and still need to be worked

[@CultOfMajora]

I have an American bulldog, he has lived a great life, he has a big backyard with lots of trees and animals to keep him busy, of course, he’s not outside all day he lives in the house, he’s nearing the end of his journey. He was go go go when he was younger, we made sure that he had plenty of outside and play time, and he also was our pest control. Yes, he was always up-to-date on his shots and we always made sure that he was OK but he did an amazing job, the few times he did get destructive chewing we just took him on a couple walks every day, and that worked it right out of his system.

[@rubidulce1]

I rescued one from a family that got to the point that the lady started beating her. I offered to take her since she was 3 months and by 5 months she finally let me take her. I tag teamed with my friend who had another malinois and helped me get her healthy and basic crate and potty trained. That little puppy transformed in a month. She was one of various pups a local idiot was breeding in our community. I was lucky to have gotten her as young as i did and having the support of two others to give her the time and our combined three animals to help her with faster socializing and getting her the guiding she needed. We found a perfect home for her with a couple who one was a vet and another a nurse. She's doing amazing now in her new home with her husky sister. They are extremely smart i hope one day to own one again, but I'm currently pregnant so it might be a few years lol

I have a Netflix subscription!! My Belgium Malinois watches Netflix with me😂, she's a couch potato. She is not a Tasmanian Devil 😊😮. She doesn't touch anything in house. You sir are generalizing this breed. These dogs are very intelligent. My dog is very docile and sweet. She is trained. My family also got trained. He is basically describing reckless dog owners. Any dog can cause problems if you neglect them.

[@redeemedstone]

Agree. Kindness and consistency. If we lead well, they’ll fit with our vibe.

[@FenrirAldebrand]

Same! If you get a Mal from a working line, there's a 90-95% chance they're going to be as he's describing. Mine is not from specifically a working line (his mom is actually a service dog, I'm hoping he will be too). But he's totally content running around the yard with my roommates dog for an hour a few times a week, and the occasional 10-15 minute walk. What this breed craves more than anything is *mental* stimulation and without that, they will indeed eat your couch.

[@aridemedina8770]

This man is 100% right. Malinois are easy bitters if not satisfied with exercises. They are incredibly fast and also unpredictable. And do not hesitate to use their teeth. They are smaller than a GSD but sometimes stronger. Mine breaks a half an inch marble like stone quite easily. And they are intelligent too!

Her sister, on the other hand, is indefatigable. My husband would take the dogs for runs with him riding his bike and the dogs running. They would go for miles. Kiva would be ready to go again in about 15 minutes. Mavis, on the other hand, would be worn out.

I've had Mali's all my life, along with GSD's. They're absolutely beautiful pets and super loyal and smart.

[@michaelkelley9609]

No regrets with my Mal. As long as you know what your getting into.

[@Wordsm1th]

My Malinois is by far the best dog I’ve ever owned. Challenging, hard-working, unbelievably energetic and full of enthusiasm. Training him has been rewarding, fulfilling and a pleasure.

[@mikemc7258]

I’ve got a boxerpit rescued off the street and she’s the most loyal loving dog I have ever had she’s got plenty of energy but still does good as a house dog I’ve got a fenced in yard so I’m blessed

[@paz_3450]

I am owned by a Malinois, and she is my best friend.

[@VERJENKS]

❤your information you pass out. BIG THANKS!

[@jessicawilkerson9687]

Got one! She's amazing. We train 20 mins a day , 3 or 4 times a day. She is the best thing that ever happened to us. Lots of riom to run and 2 other dogs to play with. She runs with my horses. She's smart enough to parallel play with the horse . She doesn't bite,nip or get any kind of crazy around them. Great dog.

[@robertcalifornia3267]

This dude doesn’t miss. My mom had one of these dogs and he’s exactly right

[@justforshow629]

I'm watching this with my maligator pup on the couch. We're chillin.

[@ramonacreantor3332]

Love to listen to your advices.

Me owning this dog for 7 weeks now and first time owner of this breed and suddently seeing all these videos makes you wonder sometimes if i made the right choice but one thing is for sure i will never put a dog in shelter or give up on it i am trying my best to train her with the basic knowledge i have

[@bartowflorida]

I had 1 in college and they are a handful, to say the least. The puppies bite like piranhas

[@DunnDidit1]

I spend every free hour I have exercising my malinois just so at 8pm I get an hour of relaxing and watching Netflix. That is after an average of about 4-5 miles of biking, hiking, snowshoeing, ski joring or swimming,and then we wrestle, and play ball. You must play with the ball, all day.

[@user-xs3ki1hg8f]

We have a girl, absolutely correct, she’s been training ever since she was a puppy and even now is still going through training. Very active, she’s walked around 2-3 times a day, loads of mental stimulation but she’s in our family and gets on well with little children and other dogs, also have another one, he’s still a puppy in training, love them both ❤️

[@JRN007]

I have a Dutch shepherd. Easiest dog I’ve ever trained. Never tears up my home. She’s the best.

[@uncannycanislupuslovlygzk7230]

I have a Belgian Malinois, husky, Blue Heeler, coyote mix. Even though he's a mutt, he's a great protection dog and would be very crazy if I didn't spend all of my time working with him and letting him burn off energy. It's a little bit harder because he's partially coyote so he's extremely vocal and yips a lot, but with things like husky it makes him more stubborn and then with the added herding dog instincts, it just makes it all the better! But you did a great job of explaining the Belgian Malinois breed! 🤣😅❤

[@Indiandyukon2023]

As someone who works at a pet lodge. Please no more Belgian Malinois.

[@DatBOY22]

The Energizer Bunny got me weak 😭

[@dakotagarcia7781]

I worked at a doggie daycare where we boarded one of these for a week. Any time you got close to his "room" he would begin to violently spin in circles at scary velocity. I always pushed open his door real slow and careful bc i was afraid he'd just bash his skull into it without care. My assumption is that he was used to crate life, and so he perfected how to spin in the TIGHTEST of circles and do it for who knows how long. Tasmanian devil is right. That dog had crack cocaine for blood and a screw loose.

[@cyberfux]

What you're saying about the Malinois is 100% correct but i found the perfect mixture: 50% Belgian Malinois 50% Old German Shepherd Dog The OGSD cancels out some of the hyperactive tendencies and the BM cancels some of the residual illnesses of the GSD. That being said: I live of 4 hours sleep a night on a 8.000 m² property because at 4 AM that paneuropean snuffledog demands "OPEN THE DOOR I GOTTA GO PATROL THE BORDERS!". All of his siblings are police working dogs so no wonder he has a chip in his snout err on his shoulder, no Oskar i didn't have any chips, go back to sleep!

[@patriciabronk1786]

I have a German Shepard. Very similar. She must be outside all the time and must have a ball in her mouth. She is a good dog. Puppyhood was alot of work, training, attention. Worth it.

[@mattfisher8568]

Stellar advice

[@tomhaslimitshall2375]

So accurate! I love how ppl see a dog doing cool stuff in a video and assume they were doing these tricks at birth with no training. Their great dogs for the right owner.

[@kluka158]

Thank you. Everyone needs to see this!!!!

[@aot-chidori1724]

I definitely agree. I have this 2 months old cute Belgian malinois and his very active and doesn’t get tired and i loved training him. For just 2 days he manage to learn and adopt the tricks i teach him.

[@legndgrape5188]

Lmaoo the ending has me dead he described me to a t

[@greysonross7904]

I Learned this with my cattle dog - 2 years later I’m now a dog trainer . He was such a challenge that he changed my career path at 34 years old 😂 and landed me a job at a dog training company . But damn I love it and it was worth it. ( cattle dogs and Belgian mallinois are almost identical personality wise ) .
