Fantastic video, exactly what I was looking for. Pretty nice to see the difference between a competition and a "pet" dog. Most times watching your videos I need to keep in mind that your Mals are competition dogs with a high level of energy (what you're looking for) instead of a pet Mal (what I'm looking for). Cheers!
It is very helpful . I know each dog is different , I get what you mean . My Malinois dose not want to play at all and i look for a way to interest her and engage her .
I just got my new malinois puppy yesterday. Her name is Mulan. But I sometimes call her Princess Mulan. She's a sweet heart! I hope I am able to train her buy watching your videos!
I’ve always had Boxers which are great companions. Now that my three Boxers have passed I want a Malinois as a working dog. I know the training takes dedication but I’m ready to put the time in.
Nice 👍🏻 It’s about time training BUT also it’s really about lifestyle with the Malinois. You can train them all day but if their lifestyle is off that’s when you run into problems 🙏🏼
when i working with my dog i try very hard to not speak a lot of, i mostly give her to bit and encourages her. i believe that my dog not need it. anyway, i love you head, and your tips!!!!
Thank you for the video. I never played tug with my 17 month old (pet, not working) white swiss shepherd before and am just starting now. First time I showed her the firehose tug toy, she was confused what I wanted to do since I normally take the ball out instead. I think I need to find a softer toy. There's always something new I'm learning as your average pet owner. Also I love the video intro! The video editing is great. Any plans to add a short outro? You could totally use canva to make a personalized image so you can put your subscribe button and the end cards.
I've been wondering how y'all get a dog to release so fast. Going to work on it (after finding two similar soft tugs). What is the next step once she's good at switching (switching without seeing the toy)? Thank you for this great video.
How do I get my dog to bite with her back teeth without pushing the toy further into her mouth? Another video said pushing it in will cause the dog discomfort, uninterest or something like that negative. I just started mine to tug just for fun and she uses a random bite each time so far. Front, Middle, Back. If back is the best workout, I'd prefer her to do that.
I just needed this. I have a companion Malinois too, I wanna do a bit of bitework, but for fun and not to compete. I also expect too much from my dog and I am almost always sad about the play Session, altho my puppy is amazing already! I am currently training that my Mali holds a toy and I can touch her calmly
@@AndyKrueger Oh, that is a good thought. I can be a bit too hectic and about the fight and I can see that my dogs don't like it. I am changing my intensity of playing constantly to see where they are. Especially the Mali because she loves to play, but is insecure
@@sophia-mariapavelka3534 I understand. Calm is the name of the game. Growling, thrashing, pulling, chewing are all behaviors that lead to a hectic dog. 5 min sessions 2x day 4 days per week is best. Your only goal is to get the dog relaxed and comfortable playing with you. Then once the dog is in the ideal mindset (maybe 3 months of work) you can work more on the actual grip and extend the time of the sessions 👍🏻👍🏻 This dog will teach you WAY more than a dog that does everything no matter what you do 🙏🏼
@@AndyKrueger I only get the SUPER handler sensitive dogs. 💁♀️ they are great teacher. At the moment I only let go of the toy when she is pushing towards me. She will come back, but I have a leash on her all of the time. Her grip is only deep when I carass her face. She doesn't growl 90% of the time. If she does, I kneel down and soften my grip a little so she will push against the toy again which I praise. She doesn't hold the toy calmly yet. I think I have to try walking with her and the toy
New Maligator owner here, after the first 5 minute session, how long should additional training session last? Do I build up more time? Or stick with 5?
I NEVER put bedding/ blankets in a crate of a dog who is IN TRAINING! It’s a recipe for disaster. They can shred/ tear it up (which teaches to vent stress through destruction) go to the bathroom on it (which teaches them not to worry about potty in the crate) or worst of all consume part of it which can cause a fatal blockage. Puppies/ dogs actually prefer a ‘hard’ surface to lay on, they were built for that. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@AndyKrueger that's really interesting and great to know! Do your older dogs sleep on anything over night or still nothing? Thank you for the response!
How vital is the leash in a session like this? Is it needed or can you do the same session without it,i do sessions like this regularly and my dog really thrives from it but ive never used a leash while doing it.
Depends on the dog. If your dog readily brings the toy back and does not have a desire to leave, you don’t need it. If your dog is constantly trying to leave with the toy, it’s crucial!
Dog feels e collar at a low stim during a well known behavior he’s eager to do then all of a sudden he doesn’t feel that same stim. I don’t want to Jack up the levels especially when he already shows reaction to low stim. I have a EZ-900 fully charged. What’s going on?
Hey man. I need help. My dachshund learned in one day to scratch the door and moan to come inside. But won’t scratch and moan to go outside to pee. He is 3 months old now. How can I fix this
@@AndyKrueger I have a small fenced in backyard that he can roam safe and free. For example when it’s time to potty or to stretch his legs. But I have been telling him when to go. But he constantly pees and poops in his kennel and in the house. I have to bathe him about everyday. What else can I do.

GREAT video not all persons are equal not all Malionois are equal. THANKS for this. Would love seeing the progress of Fiona.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 I will definitely post more videos of her in the coming weeks!
This is great. I have to remember that with my puppy, at his stage, I’m just happy if he shows interest in committing to a bite and trying to keep it.
Yep! It’s all about one small piece at a time! 🙏🏼

My videos will help compliment a training regiment, but are nowhere near enough on their own!
Awesome! Been waiting for one like this for my GSD. Thanks
Great! Thanks!
Really enjoyed this vid would love to see your future progress with Fiona. Me and my Mal went out and played tug straight after watching this vid 😁😁
Love it! I have more Fiona videos coming! 🙌🏻
Really love your vlogs!
I'm looking to get into french ring with my Mal; would you know of any good clubs in Quebec or Ontario Canada?

Hello I love your videos. ❤

you number 1!!!!!!!!!!
I laughed on the “slap your hand and call yourself a bad trainer “ hahahaha😂 Great video man !!

Thanks for the input! Outro is a good idea 🙏🏼
Great video as always. How many misses do you think is optimal to build that confidence on finally getting the bite? Cheers
Thanks! Typically 1-3 misses is more than enough! 🙌🏻

Next step is using only one toy

Depends. You must learn to read the individual dog and have the knowledge to determine when to stop and when to keep going.
love the video! Just curious how come you dont have any bedding or blankets in the crates?

@@woolley2010 My older dogs no longer sleep in crates 👍🏻
Where are you getting your sleeves from?
Tons of good companies out there. I’d recommend google searching ‘puppy bite sleeves’ 👍🏻
Andy, do I have to take my dog out and let him run free or can I play like this with him in my big garden?He's a 11 month old cane corso.
How do you keep a dog from biting constantly when “free?” When my 1.5 yo Malinois gets excited she jumps and bites my arms, back.
How vital is the leash in a session like this? Is it needed or can you do the same session without it,i do sessions like this regularly and my dog really thrives from it but ive never used a leash while doing it.

Andy is the growling a good thing?
Nope
@@AndyKrueger oh dear. Iv been growling back at mine..
@@samali4327 Why?
@@AndyKrueger I thought he was playing Andy.
@@AndyKrueger what should I do when he growls while playing tug?
Dog feels e collar at a low stim during a well known behavior he’s eager to do then all of a sudden he doesn’t feel that same stim. I don’t want to Jack up the levels especially when he already shows reaction to low stim. I have a EZ-900 fully charged. What’s going on?
This can happen with ecollars sometimes. I’d try adjusting the spot where the collar is located on the dogs neck.
Hey how old is she??
11 months old. 😁
11 months !
My friends telling me that Playing Tug can cause aggressiveness to a dog. Is this true
If the person has no idea what they’re doing, then yes I suppose it could.
Why not letting her chew it?
I’m teaching her to bite, not chew 👍🏻
@@AndyKrueger Got that, Tnx man, awesome video love it!!
Hey man. I need help. My dachshund learned in one day to scratch the door and moan to come inside. But won’t scratch and moan to go outside to pee. He is 3 months old now. How can I fix this
I wouldn’t leave a 3 month old outside alone. And I never teach a dog to tell me when they want to go out, I always tell them when it’s time.

@@movedownsouthfilms936 I’d hire a local and credible dog trainer to help you. These kinds of things can’t really be fixed unless in person 👍🏻
You could try training potty bells. Pretty easy and gives you some practice at shaping behavior.
@@jdoveyk9422 I would never advise anyone to use ‘potty bells’
